[192] [Prajñāpanā Sūtra [211 pr.] Bhagavan! Where are the places of the Siddhas said to be? Bhagavan! Where do the Siddhas reside? [211 u.] Gautama! Above the upper stupa of the Sarvārthasiddha Mahāvimāna, twelve yojanas without obstruction, there is a land called Īṣatprāgabhārā, whose length and breadth is forty-five lakh yojanas. Its circumference is a little more than one crore forty-two lakh, thirty thousand, two hundred and ninety-four yojanas. In the very middle (in length and breadth) of the Īṣatprāgabhārā-earth, there is a region of eight yojanas, which is said to be eight yojanas thick (high). Thereafter (in all directions and vidishas), due to the gradual decrease of the regions, it becomes thinner and thinner, and finally it is said to be thinner than a fly's wing, as thick as an innumerable part of an angula. Twelve names have been given to the Īṣatprāgabhārā-earth. They are as follows: (1) Īṣat, (2) Īṣatprāgabhārā, (3) Tanu, (4) Tanu-tanu, (5) Siddhi, (6) Siddhalaya, (7) Mukti, (8) Muktālaya (9) Lokāgra, (10) Lokāgra-stūpikā, or (11) Lokāgraprativāhini (Bodhana) and (12) Sarvaprāṇa-bhūta-jīva-sattvasukhāvahā. The Īṣatprāgabhārā-earth is white, like the pure powder of conch shell, like the auspicious symbol, mṛṇāla, water drop, snow, cow's milk and garland, situated in the shape of an inverted umbrella, completely white like Arjuna gold, clear like crystal, smooth, soft, rubbed, smooth (mṛṣṭa), pure, spotless, without shadow (lustre), radiant, prosperous, luminous, pleasing, visible, beautiful and perfect (sarvāngasundara). From the Īṣatprāgabhārā-earth, the end of the world is one yojana away with a speed that cannot be measured. The upper part of that yojana, the sixth part of that upper part, is where the Siddha Bhagavans, who are free from sadi-ananta, many births, old age, death, yoni-samsara (movement), obstacles (kalankali bhavas), rebirth (punarbhava), dwelling in the form of a womb and from the world, reside eternally for all time to come. [Meaning of the verses on Siddhas] There (in the aforementioned Siddha-sthāna), they (Siddha Bhagavans) are also free from the Vedas, free from pain, free from ego, free from (external-internal) attachment, completely liberated from the world (birth-death) and have a form made of (ātma) regions. // 158 // Where do the Siddhas stop? Where are the Siddhas established (seated)? Where do they give up their bodies, where do they go and become Siddhas? ||156 // (Further) Due to the absence of the world, the Siddhas are stopped (pratihata) (in the world). They are established in the front part of the world (lokāgra) and here (in the human world) they give up their bodies and go there (in the front part of the world) and become Siddhas (nisthitārtha). // 160 // The third part less than the last birth's form (ākāra) is said to be the absorption of the Siddhas. // 161 //
