**210]** **[Prajñāpanā Sūtra]** Those born in the Naraka-Pṛthvī are born in the sixth, fifth, and other lower Pṛthvīs, being slightly inferior, inferior, and sinful. The most excellent sinners are the fewest. Therefore, there are the fewest Narakas in the south of the seventh Naraka-Pṛthvī. The Narakas in the east, west, and north of the sixth Naraka-Pṛthvī are countless times more than those in the south. The Narakas in the east, west, and north of the sixth Naraka-Pṛthvī are countless times more than those in the south. The reason has been explained before. From there, the Narakas in the east, west, and north of the fifth, fourth, third, second, and first Narakas, as well as those in the south, should be understood to be countless times more in sequence. (12) The small number of Tiryañc-pañcendriya beings should be understood like the Apkāyika Sūtra. (13) The small number of humans - the fewest humans are in the south and north, because the five Bharat and five Airavata regions in these directions are small. There are countless times more in the east, because the regions there are countless times larger. There are even more in the west, because there are Adholaukika villages, which naturally have a large number of humans. (14) The small number of Bhavanavāsī Devas - the fewest Bhavanavāsī Devas are in the east and west, because there are few Bhavanas in both these directions. There are countless times more in the north, because there are many Bhavanas there due to it being their Svasthāna. There are countless times more in the south, because there are four lakh Bhavanas more in each Nikāya, and many Kṛṣṇapākṣika are born in this direction, therefore they are countless times more. (15) The small number of Vāṇavyantara Devas - where there are Pole places, there is usually the movement of Vyantaras. There are more solid places in the east, therefore there are fewer Vyantaras there. There are more in the west, because there are more Poles in the Adholaukika villages. There are more in the north, because there is a large number of Nagravāsas due to it being their Svasthāna. There are more in the south than in the north, because there are many Nagravāsas in the south. (16) The small number of Jyotiṣka Devas - the fewest Jyotiṣka Devas are in the east and west, because there are few Jyotiṣka Devas in the islands like the gardens of the Moon and Sun in both these directions. There are more in the south, because there are more Vimānas in the south, and Kṛṣṇapākṣika are only in the south. There are even more in the north, because there are many Kṛḍāsthala of Jyotiṣka Devas in Manasarovara in the north. Due to being engaged in Kṛḍā, Jyotiṣka Devas always stay there. The Matsya and other aquatic creatures of Manasarovara, seeing the Vimānas near them, develop Jātismaraṇajñāna, which causes them to adopt some Vrata, give up food, etc., and are born there due to Nidāna. Therefore, there are more Jyotiṣka Devas in the north than in the south. (17) The small number of Saudharma-prādi Vaimānika Devas - the fewest Vaimānika Devas in the Saudharmakalpa are in the east and west, because the Prāvalikāpraviṣṭa Vimānas are the same in all four directions, but the Bahasankhyaka and Asankhyātayogana-vistṛta Puṣpāvakīrṇa Vimānas are only in the south and north, not in the east and west. Therefore, there are the fewest Vaimānika Devas in the east and west. There are countless times more in the north, because there are many Asankhyātayogana-vistṛta Puṣpāvakīrṇa Vimānas in the north.
