Primary [199 (1) Anantarāhāradwāra, (2) Āhārābhogadwāra, (3) Pudgalajñānadwāra, (4) Adhyavasānadwāra and (5) Samyaktvaābhigamadwāra / After this, the sixth Paricāraṇādwāra begins / The author has expounded Paricāraṇā from four aspects - (1) With respect to devas, there are three possible options, the fourth option is not possible: (I) Sadevīka Saparicāra devas, (II) Adevīka Saparicāra devas, (III) Adevīka Aparicāra devas / It is not possible for any deva to be both Sadevīka and Aparicāra. Thus, the above three possible options are explained as follows: (1) In Bhavanapati, Vāṇavyantara, Jyotiṣka and Saudharmīśāna Vaimānika, there are devīs. Therefore, there is Kāyikaparicāraṇa (sexual intercourse with devas and devīs) in them. (2) From Sanaṭkumārakalpa to Acyutakalpa, the Vaimānika devas have only devas, not devīs. Therefore, the second option is - in those vimānas, there are no devīs, yet Paricāraṇā occurs. (3) However, in the nine Graiveyakas and Anuttaravimānas, there are neither devīs nor Paricāraṇā by the devas there. This is the third option. * How does Paricāraṇā occur in the devalokas where there are no devīs? Resolving this, the author says: (1) In Sanaṭkumāra and Māhendrakalpa, there is Sparśaparicāraṇā, (2) In Brahmaloka and Lāntakakalpa, there is Rūpaparicāraṇā, (3) In Mahāśukra and Sahasrārakalpa, there is Śabdaparicāraṇā, (4) In Pānata-Prāṇata and Prāraṇa-Acyutakalpa, there is Manḥparicāraṇā. * Kāyaparicāraṇā occurs when the devas have a spontaneous desire in the mind, i.e., the desire for Kāyaparicāraṇā. And then the devīs-Apsarās appear in charming and delightful forms and in Vaikriya bodies. * The Kāyika-Paricāraṇā of the devas with the devīs is similar to the Kāyika sexual intercourse of humans. The author further stated that the devas have Śukra-pudgalas, which migrate into those devīs and become Pañcendriya forms, and they also enhance the beauty and grace of the Apsarās. * Here, a special thing to note is that there is no conception from that Śukra of the deva in the Apsarā, because the devas have Vaikriya bodies. Their birth is not from the womb, but Aupapātika. * Where Sparśa, Rūpa and Śabda Paricāraṇā occurs, there are no devīs. But when the devas have the desire for Spādi-Paricāraṇā, the Apsarās (devīs) manifest themselves through Vikrīyā. They go up to the Sahasrārakalpa, which is particularly noteworthy. Then the devas experience satisfaction and fulfillment successively (as appropriate) from Sparśādi alone. This is their Paricāraṇā: The devas who perform Sparśādi Paricāraṇā also have Śukra-visarjana.
