Generally, the lowest state of an eunuch is an instant (antarmuhurt) and the highest is thirty-three oceans (tetis sagaropama). The lowest state of an instant is in comparison to a human eunuch, and the highest state of thirty-three oceans is in comparison to a eunuch in the seventh earth hell (saptamaprithvi narak).
