## Third Understanding: Questions about the Vimanas [277]
On the first day of the Kark Sankranti, the most auspicious day in Jambudvipa, the sun appears to rise from a distance of forty-seven thousand two hundred sixty yojanas and one yojana divided into six parts (twenty-one sixtieth parts). 47263 1/10 yojanas is the extent of its rising point, and the same is the extent of its setting point. The rising point and the setting point together make a total of 94526 1/10 yojanas. This is the extent of one Avashaantar. Since there are three such Avashaantars, the total extent of one padanyas of that deva is twenty-eight lakh three thousand five hundred eighty yojanas and one yojana divided into sixty parts (28,03,580 1/60).
Even if a deva with such strength were to walk continuously for one day, two days, or even for the auspicious six months, he would still be able to cross some of those Vimanas, but not others. These Vimanas are so large. This is a simile to understand the greatness of Vimanas like Swastika, etc.
In response to the question about the greatness of Achi, Achirawart, etc., one should know the same, except that here, the extent of one padanyas of that deva should be understood as five Avashaantars.
In the case of Kama, Kamawart, etc., Vimanas, one should also know the same, except that the extent of one padanyas of that deva should be understood as seven Avashaantars.
The same should be known about Vijay, Vaijayant, Jayant, and Aparajit. The difference is that here, the extent of one padanyas of that deva should be understood as nine Avashaantars. O venerable Shraman! These Vimanas are so large.

1. **Javi Udai Suro Javi So Athamei Avarenam / Tiyapanasattanavgunam Kaun Patteyem Patteyem // 1 //**
- The sun rises and sets in the same way. The distance is to be understood as three times seven times nine times the Kaun.
2. **Siyalis Sahasssa Do Ya Saya Joyanaana Tebatta / Igavis Sadvibhaga Kakkhadamaimmi Pechch Nara // 2 //**
- Forty-two thousand two hundred yojanas and twenty-one sixtieth parts are seen by humans in the Kakkhadamaimmi.
3. **Evam Dugunam Kaun Gunijjae Tiyapanasattamaaihim / Magayphalem Cha Jam Tam Kamparimanam Biyaanahi // 3 //**
- Multiply the Kaun by two and then by three times seven. The result is the extent of the Kama.
4. **Chattari Vi Sakammehi, Chandaigaihim Janti Chhammas / Tahavi Ya Na Janti Param Kesinchhi Sura Vimanaai // 4 //**
- Even if they walk for six months with all their strength and speed, even then, some devas cannot cross some Vimanas.
