[Description of the Time-Realm (Human Realm)] [43 "Koda-kodi sanantaram tu mannati kei thovataya. Anna utsehangulmaanam kaaun taraanam" // 1 // Commentary Description of the Time-Realm (Human Realm) 177. (a) O Bhagavan! What is the length and breadth of the Time-Realm (Human Realm) and what is its circumference? Gautama! The Time-Realm (Human Realm) is forty-five lakh yojanas in length and breadth, and its circumference is the same as that of the inner Pushkaravardvipa, which is one crore, forty-two lakh, thirty thousand, two hundred and fifty yojanas. O Bhagavan! Why is the Human Realm called the Human Realm? Gautama! Three types of humans reside in the Human Realm, namely: Karmabhumika, Akarmabhumika and Antarvipaka. Therefore, it is called the Human Realm. O Bhagavan! How many moons were, are and will be illuminating the Human Realm? How many suns were, are and will be shining? One should ask such questions. Gautama! In the Time-Realm (Human Realm), one hundred and thirty-two moons and one hundred and thirty-two suns illuminate and wander throughout the entire Human Realm. / / 1 / /
