[Second Sthananga]
The abodes of the Bhavanavasins (celestial beings dwelling in mansions) are described as follows:
They dwell in mansions that are square-shaped from the inside, with lotus-petal-shaped corners. They have deep and wide moats, and are adorned with walls, towers, doors, arches, and decorated entrances. They are inhabited by various celestial beings like Asuras, Nagas, Suvarna (celestial beings), Vidyuts (celestial beings of lightning), Agni (fire deities), Diva (celestial beings), and Udadhi (ocean deities).
There are ten categories of Bhavanavasins - Asuras, Nagas, Suvarna, Vidyut, Agni, Diva, Udadhi, Disi (direction deities), Pavana (wind deities), and Staniya (sound deities).
The Bhavanavasins are adorned with various ornaments and decorations, and possess great beauty, radiance, fame, strength, and bliss. They enjoy divine pleasures, music, and other entertainments.
The paryapta (fully developed) and aparyapta (not fully developed) abodes of the Bhavanavasins are described to be located in an area of 1,80,000 yojanas (ancient unit of distance) on the Ratnaprabha-dvipa (Jewel-Radiant Island).
