However, the *Asura*s usually reside in *āvāsa*s, and sometimes also in *bhavana*s. / The difference between a *bhavana* and an *āvāsa* is that a *bhavana* is round on the outside and square on the inside, and is shaped like a lotus seed at the bottom. An *āvāsa*, on the other hand, is a large hall that is as big as the body of a being, and is illuminated in all directions by various types of lamps made of jewels and gems. / The word "kumāra" attached to the name of each type of *Bhavana* dwelling god indicates their special characteristic. These ten types of gods are like *kumāra*s in their behavior, and therefore they are called "kumāra"s. They are delicate like *kumāra*s, and their movement (speed) is soft, sweet, and graceful like that of *kumāra*s. / *Śṛngāra*
