## Twelfth Body Stage [119]
There are as many categories as the cube of the cube root of an angul, or they are equal to the cube of the cube root of an angul. / The rest should be understood in the same way as the previous statement.
**Discussion of the Forms of the Bound and Liberated Bodies of the Vaṇavyantara, Jyotiṣka, and Vaimānika Devas**
The three sūtras (922 to 624) present the forms of the bound and liberated bodies of the Vaṇavyantara, Jyotiṣka, and Vaimānika Devas, respectively.
**Forms of the Bound and Liberated Bodies of the Vaṇavyantara Devas**
The bound and liberated Audārika bodies of the Vaṇavyantara Devas should be understood in the same way as the bound and liberated Audārika bodies of the Nārayikas. / The bound Vaikriya bodies of the Vaṇavyantara are innumerable, like those of the Nārakas. With respect to time, the removal of one body at a time in each of the innumerable Utsarpini and Avasarpini kalas results in the removal of all the bound Vaikriya bodies of the Vaṇavyantara. With respect to space, they are innumerable categories in number. / That is, there are as many bodies as there are spaces in the sky in innumerable categories. These categories are innumerable parts of the Prati. / There is only a slight difference in their list. The list of the diameters of these innumerable categories is as follows. Just as the Vaṇavyantara Devas are said to be innumerable times less than the five-sensed Tiryañca Nāpusakas in the Mahāḍaṇḍaka, so also their (the Vaṇavyantara Devas) list of diameters should be said to be innumerable times less than the list of diameters of the five-sensed Tiryañcas. In the filling and removal of the Prati, that list is equal to the number of squares of hundreds of yojanas. / The meaning is that if one Vaṇavyantara is placed in each category section of innumerable squares of hundreds of yojanas, then they fill the entire Prati. / Or, if one category section of innumerable squares of hundreds of yojanas is removed with the removal of each Vaṇavyantara, then all of them together are complete. Beyond that is the entire Prati.
The statement about the liberated Vaikriya bodies of the Vaṇavyantara should be understood as the liberated Audhika Vaikriya bodies. The statement about the bound and liberated Āhārika bodies should be understood as the bound and liberated Āhārika bodies of the Nārayikas. The statement about their bound Taijasa-Kārmaṇa bodies should be understood as their bound Vaikriya bodies. With respect to the liberated Taijasa-Kārmaṇa bodies, they should be understood as the liberated Audhika Taijasa-Kārmaṇa bodies.
**Forms of the Bound and Liberated Bodies of the Jyotiṣka Devas**
The statement about their bound and liberated Audārika bodies should be understood as the Nārayikas. The bound Vaikriya bodies are innumerable. With respect to time, their complete removal occurs in innumerable Utsarpini and Avasarpini kalas due to the removal of one body at a time in each of the innumerable kalas. With respect to space, they are innumerable categories. These categories should be known as innumerable parts of the Prati. The special thing is that the list of diameters of those categories is innumerable times greater than the list of diameters of the Vaṇavyantara, because the Jyotiṣka Devas are said to be innumerable times greater than the Vaṇavyantara in the Mahāḍaṇḍaka. Therefore, with respect to the parts, it is also clearly stated that the list of diameters of those categories should be known as 256 square sections of the Prati in the filling and removal. / The meaning is that if one Jyotiṣka is placed in each category section of 256 angul squares, then they are able to fill the entire Prati. / Or, if one Jyotiṣka is removed, then one section of 256 angul squares is removed.
