## Prajñāpanā Sūtra [U.]
**1550.** Gautama! Just as the **avagāhanā** (extent of the **taijas** body) of a **dvīndriya** (being with two senses) is described (in Sūtra 1547-1), so should the **avagāhanā** of a **pañcendriya** (being with five senses) **tiryañcayoni** (animal) be understood.
**1550.** **[Pr.]** Bhagavan! How great is the **avagāhanā** of the **taijas** body of a human being who is **samovāhata** (associated with) **māranāntika** (death-approaching) **samudghāta** (disturbance)? **[U.]** Gautama! (The **avagāhanā** of the human **taijas** body) extends from the **samayakṣetra** (human realm) to the **lokānta** (end of the upper or lower realms)!
**1551.** **[1]** **[Pr.]** Bhagavan! How great is the **avagāhanā** of the **taijas** body of an **asurakumāra** (son of an Asura) who is **samovāhata** (associated with) **māranāntika** (death-approaching) **samudghāta** (disturbance)? **[U.]** Gautama! In terms of **viṣkambha** (width) and **bāhalya** (thickness), it is equal to the size of the body; in terms of **āyāma** (length), it is as small as an **asaṅkhyeya** (incalculable) part of an **angula** (finger); in terms of **utkṣeṣa** (elevation), it extends downwards to the **tiṣṭha** (third) **pṛthvī** (earth) of the **narka** (hell) and its **charimānta** (lowest point); horizontally, it extends to the **svaṃbhūrmaṇasamudra** (ocean of the self-existent); and upwards, it extends to the **īṣatprāgbhāra** (slightly heavy) **pṛthvī** (earth).
**1551.** **[2]** And it extends to the **taijas** body of the **sthānitakumāra** (son of a sthānit).
**1551.** **[3]** The **avagāhanā** of the **taijas** body of the **vānavyantara**, **jyotiṣka**, and **saudharma** **īśāna** (gods of the respective kalpas) should also be understood in the same way (as that of the **asurakumāra**).
**1551.** **[4]** **[Pr.]** Bhagavan! How great is the **avagāhanā** of the **taijas** body of a **saṅkumāra** (son of a saṅka) who is **samovāhata** (associated with) **māranāntika** (death-approaching) **samudghāta** (disturbance)? **[U.]** Gautama! In terms of **viṣkambha** (width) and **bāhalya** (thickness), it is equal to the size of the body; in terms of **āyāma** (length), it is as small as an **asaṅkhyeya** (incalculable) part of an **angula** (finger); in terms of **utkṣeṣa** (elevation), it extends downwards to the **doṣṭha** (two-thirds) of the **mahāpātāla** (great hell); horizontally, it extends to the **svaṃbhūrmaṇasamudra** (ocean of the self-existent); and upwards, it extends to the **acchubho** (excellent) **kalpa** (world cycle).
