## Twenty-first Avagahana-Samsthana-Pada [467]
From Lokanta to Lokanta, meaning from the extreme end of Adholoka to the extreme end of Urvaloka, or from the extreme end of Urvaloka to the extreme end of Adholoka. This excellent Avagahana of the Tejas Sharira should be understood in relation to the Tejas Sharira of a Sukshma or Badara Ekendriya. Because only Sukshma and Badara Ekendriya reside in all the Lokas as per their suitability. Other Jivas do not. Therefore, except for Ekendriya, no other Jiva can have such an Avagahana. In the present context, the Tejas Sharira Avagahana is described with the goal of reaching the destination where the Jiva goes after death, through the process of dying and taking birth in a particular Yoni. Therefore, when an Ekendriya Jiva (Sukshma or Badara) is situated at the extreme end of Adholoka at the time of death and is going to be born at the extreme end of Urvaloka, or when it is situated at the extreme end of Urvaloka at the time of death and is going to be born at the extreme end of Adholoka, and when it performs the Maranantik Samudghat, then its excellent Avagahana is from Lokanta to Lokanta.
From Tiryaloka to Lokanta, meaning from Tiryaloka to Adholokanta or to Urddhva-Lokanta. The intention is that when a Dwiendriya Jiva situated in Tiryaloka is going to be born as an Ekendriya in Urddhva Lokanta or Adholokanta, and performs the Maranantik Samudghat, then the aforementioned Avagahana of the Tejas Sharira takes place.
The Avagahana is up to the Pushkarini situated in Pandakavana. This means that the Avagahana from the seventh Naraka-Prithvi up to the Tirchha Swayambhuraman Samudra-Paryanta and above to the Pandakavana Pushkarini is found only when a Naraka of the seventh Naraka is born in the Paryanta-bhaga of the Swayambhuraman Samudra in the form of a Matsya or in the Pushkarinis of Pandakavana. Then the Tejas Sharira Avagahana of that Naraka of the seventh Prithvi is that much.
The Avagahana of the Tejas Sharira of a Dwiendriya is described as being smaller than the Payama of a Dwiendriya, being an infinitesimal part of an Angula. This much Avagahana of a Dwiendriya happens only when an insufficiently endowed Dwiendriya with a body the size of an infinitesimal part of an Angula is born as an Ekendriya in its nearby region. Or, the Avagahana is considered in relation to the dimensions, circumference, and extent of the Tejas Sharira that emerges from the body in which the Maranantik Samudghat takes place, not including the body itself. Otherwise, the Payama of Bhavanapati etc. being described as an infinitesimal part of an Angula will be contradictory, because the body of Bhavanapati etc. is seven Hasta-pramana and above. Therefore, the correct fact is that even when a Maha-kaya Dwiendriya Jiva is born as an Ekendriya in its nearby region, its Tejas Sharira Avagahana should be understood as being the size of an infinitesimal part of an Angula.
The Avagahana of the Tejas Sharira of a Naraka is described as being smaller than the Payama, being one thousand Yojanas. It should be understood in this way: Valyamukha etc., the four Patala-Kalasha, have an Avagahana of one lakh Yojanas. Their thickness is one thousand Yojanas. The lower part of those Patala-Kalasha is filled with air, the upper part is filled with water, and the middle part is the path for the flow and outflow of air and water. When a Simantaka etc.
