[Twenty-first Avagahana-Samsthana-Pada] The Avagahana, which is inferior and superior in length, should be understood as before, from the earth, up to the tejo, vayu, and vanaspatikayika. 1547. [1] O Venerable One! How large is the Avagahana of the tejas-body of a being with two senses, who is in the state of maranantika samuddhata? [A] Gautama! The body-measure is only as much as the viskambha (diameter) and bahalya (thickness), i.e., the width of the belly, etc., and the thickness of the chest and back. (And) in terms of length, it is inferior, being an immeasurable fraction of an angula, and superior, extending from the tirya-loka (intermediate world) to the loka-anta (end of the world). [1547-1 Pra] O Bhagavan! How large is the Avagahana of the tejas-body of a being with two senses, who is in the state of maranantika samuddhata? [A] Gautama! The viskambha, i.e., the width of the belly, etc., and the bahalya, i.e., the thickness of the chest and back, are only as much as the body-measure. (And) in terms of length, it is inferior, being an immeasurable fraction of an angula, and superior, extending from the tirya-loka (intermediate world) to the loka-anta (end of the world). [2] And in the same way, up to the beings with four senses... [1547-2] In the same way, you should understand the Avagahana of the tejas-body of beings up to those with four senses. 1548. O Venerable One! How large is the Avagahana of the tejas-body of a being with two senses, who is in the state of maranantika samuddhata? [A] Gautama! The body-measure is only as much as the viskambha and bahalya, (and) in terms of length, it is inferior, being slightly more than a thousand yojanas, (and) superior, extending downwards to the seventh hell, sideways to the Svayambhuramana ocean, and upwards to the ponds in the Pandakavana. [1548 Pra] O Bhagavan! How large is the Avagahana of the tejas-body of a being with two senses, who is in the state of maranantika samuddhata? [A] Gautama! The viskambha and bahalya are only as much as the body-measure, (and) in terms of length, it is inferior, being slightly more than a thousand yojanas, (and) superior, extending downwards to the seventh hell, sideways to the Svayambhuramana ocean, and upwards to the ponds in the Pandakavana. 1549. O Venerable One! How large is the Avagahana of the tejas-body of a being with five senses and a tiryancha, who is in the state of maranantika samuddhata? [A] Gautama! Just as the body of a being with two senses... [1546 Pra] O Bhagavan! How large is the Avagahana of the tejas-body of a being with five senses and a tiryancha, who is in the state of maranantika samuddhata?
