## [198] [Jivajivaabhigamsutra Vivcehan - This sutra asks about the types (divisions) of the earth Ratnaprabha, etc. The answer states that there are three types (divisions) of Ratnaprabha earth, namely - Kharakanda, Pankabahulkaanda and Apbahulkaanda. Kaanda means - specific land / Khar means hard / The first Kharakanda of Ratnaprabha earth has 16 divisions / The first division called Ratnakaanda, the second division called Vajrakaanda, the third division called Vaidaryakaanda, and so on, the sixteenth division called Rishtar Ratnakaanda. There are sixteen divisions of Kharakanda of Ratnaprabha according to the names of sixteen gems / Each kaanda is one thousand yojan thick / Thus, Kharakanda is sixteen thousand yojan thick. From the said Ratnakaanda to Rishtkaanda, all kaandas are of the same type, i.e. they have no further divisions. The second kaanda is Pankabahul / It has an abundance of mud and has no further divisions, so it is of one type. This second kaanda is 84 thousand yojan thick / The third Apbahulkaanda has an abundance of water and has no divisions, it is of one type. It is 80 thousand yojan thick / Thus, by combining the three kaandas of Ratnaprabha, the total thickness of Ratnaprabha becomes (16+84+80) one lakh eighty thousand. The other Narakaprithvi, from Sharkaraprabha to Adhasaptamapৃথিবী, have no divisions / They are all of the same size / The number of Narakavasa is 70. From this, O Bhavan! How many lakhs of Narakavasa are there in the Ratnaprabha earth? Gautama! Thirty lakhs of Narakavasa are mentioned. According to this gatha, the number of Narakavasa in the seven Narakas should be known / In the first earth, thirty lakhs, in the second, twenty-five lakhs, in the third, fifteen lakhs, in the fourth, ten lakhs, in the fifth, three lakhs, in the sixth, five less than one lakh, and in the seventh earth, there are five Anuttara Mahaan Narakavasa. The five very large Anuttara Mahaan Narakavasa mentioned in Adhasaptamapৃথিবী are - 1. Kaal, 2. Mahakaal, 3. Rouru, 4. Maharouru and 5. Apratishthan / Vivcehan - This sutra mentions the number of Narakavasa in each Narakaprithvi /
