## Second Place [183]

**[183]** The **Achimali-Bhasarasipphabha** (a type of celestial being) is described as being like **Sanankumara** (Su. 166 [1]) in terms of its dwelling place. It is said that **Pranaya-Panaya** (another type of celestial being) have four hundred **Vimana-Avasas** (celestial abodes) as their dwelling place (Su. 166). Just as **Sohhamma** (Su. 197 [1]) is the **Avatansaka** (guardian) of the **Panaya** (a type of celestial being), so too are the **Badisagas** (another type of celestial being) the **Avatansakas** of all **Acha** (a type of celestial being) (Su. 166). The **Pranaya-Panaya** (celestial beings) have their **Pazzatta-Apazatta** (permanent and impermanent) dwelling places in the **Thana** (a type of celestial abode) which are located in the **Loka** (world) in an **Asankhejjabhage** (incalculable portion). Many **Pranaya-Panaya** (celestial beings) reside there, who are **Mahiddhiya** (great) and **Prabhasamana** (radiant) (Su. 166). They dwell in their hundreds of **Vimana-Avasas** (celestial abodes) (Su. 196).

**[205-1]** **Question:** **O Bhagavan!** Where are the dwelling places of the **Paryaptaka** (sufficient) and **Aparyaptaka** (insufficient) **Anata** (a type of celestial being) and **Pranata** (a type of celestial being) described? **O Bhagavan!** Where do the **Pranata-Pranata** (celestial beings) reside?

**[205-1] Answer:** **O Gautama!** Above the **Sahasrar Kalpa** (a type of celestial time period), in the same direction and same **Vidisha** (a type of celestial region), (as described in Su. 199-1) extending upwards, there are two **Kalpas** (celestial time periods) called **Anata** and **Pranata**. They are long in the east-west direction and wide in the north-south direction, shaped like a crescent moon, and are like a **Jyotimala** (string of lights) and **Diptirasi** (radiant mass) in their brilliance. The rest of the description (as mentioned in Su. 199-1) is similar to the description of the **Sanatkumara Kalpa**. In these **Kalpas**, there are four hundred **Vimana-Avasas** (celestial abodes) of the **Anata** and **Pranata** (celestial beings), as it is said. The description of the **Vimana-Avasas** (celestial abodes) is similar to the previous description. Just as the **Avatansaka** (guardian) of the **Soudharma Kalpa** is described in Su. 197-1, so too should the **Avatansaka** (guardian) of these (celestial abodes) be described. The special feature is that there is a fifth **Avatansaka** (guardian) in the middle of these (four). These **Avatansakas** are completely made of jewels, are pure, and (the description of the middle is according to Su. 196) should be described as "similar". In these **Avatansakas** (guardians), the dwelling places of the **Paryapta-Aparyapta** (sufficient-insufficient) **Panata-Pranata** (celestial beings) are described. These dwelling places are in the **Loka** (world) in an **Asankhejjabhage** (incalculable portion) in all three aspects. Many **Anata-Pranata** (celestial beings) reside there, who are **Mahiddhiya** (great) and (according to Su. 196) should be understood as "radiant". They (the **Anata-Pranata** celestial beings) wander there, ruling over their hundreds of **Vimana-Avasas** (celestial abodes).

**[2]** **Panaye** (a type of celestial being) **Yastha Devi-Deva** (a type of celestial being) **Devaraya** (a type of celestial being) resides there, just as **Sanankumara** (Su. 169 [2]) is described. (Similarly, the **Pranatendra** (a type of celestial being) should be understood here). The special feature is that (this **Pranatendra**) rules over four hundred **Vimana-Avasas** (celestial abodes), twenty thousand **Samanika** (a type of celestial being), eighty thousand **Pratmarakshaka** (a type of celestial being), and many other celestial beings. (The description of his wandering is according to Su. 196).

**[205-2]** Here, **Deveindra** (a type of celestial being) **Devaraja** (a type of celestial being) **Pranata** (a type of celestial being) resides, just as **Sanatkumaraendra** (a type of celestial being) is described in Su. 199-2. (Similarly, the **Pranatendra** (a type of celestial being) should be understood here). The special feature is that (this **Pranatendra**) rules over four hundred **Vimana-Avasas** (celestial abodes), twenty thousand **Samanika** (a type of celestial being), eighty thousand **Pratmarakshaka** (a type of celestial being), and many other celestial beings. (The description of his wandering is according to Su. 196).

**[206-1]** **Question:** **O Bhanta!** Where are the dwelling places of the **Dharana-Uchchuta** (a type of celestial being) described? **O Bhanta!** Where do the **Parana-Aachchuta** (a type of celestial being) reside?

**[206-1] Answer:** **O Goyama!** Above the **Kalpas** (celestial time periods) of the **Pranaya-Panaya** (celestial beings), in the same direction and same **Vidisha** (a type of celestial region), there are two **Parana-Aachchuta** (a type of celestial being).
