[Twenty-first Avagaha Institution] 1513. [1] "O Venerable One! How much is the Avagaha of the Audaric body of humans said to be?" "Gautama! It is from the infinitesimal part of an angula to three gavyutis at the most." [1513-1] [2] "The Avagaha of the insufficient (humans' Audaric body) is from the infinitesimal part of an angula to the infinitesimal part of an angula at the most." [1513-2] [3] "The Avagaha of the Sammuchhima (humans' Audaric body) is from the infinitesimal part of an angula to the infinitesimal part of an angula at the most." [1513-3] [4] "The Avagaha of the Garbhaja humans and their sufficient ones is from the infinitesimal part of an angula to three gavyutis at the most." [1513-4] Discussion - The description of the Avagaha of all types of Audaric bodies - In these 12 sutras (from 1502 to 1513), the description of the infinitesimal and the most Avagaha of all types of Audaric bodies from one-sense to five-sense humans has been given. To understand this easily, a table is being given:
| Order | Name of the Audaric Body-bearing beings | Infinitesimal Avagaha | Most Avagaha |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Samuccaya Audaric body | A little more than the infinitesimal part of an angula | One thousand yojanas |
| 2 | One-sense Audaric body | | |
| 3 | Earth-bodied, sufficient-insufficient Audaric body | Infinitesimal part of an angula | |
| 4 | Earth-bodied, subtle, Badara Audaric body | | |
| 5 | Apkayika, Tejaskaika, Vayukaika Audaric body | | |
| 6 | Vanaspatikaika Audaric body | A little more than one thousand yojanas | |
| 7 | Vanaspati insufficient Audaric body | Infinitesimal part of an angula | |
| 8 | Vanaspati sufficient Audaric body | A little more than one thousand yojanas | |
