Bhagavai 3:7:251-252
- 149:pamāṇassa addham neyavvam jāva ovāriyalenam solassa joyanasahassāim āyāma-vikkhambhenam, pannäsam joyanasahassăim pamca ya sattānaue joyanasate kimci visesūạe parikkheveņam pannattam. pāsāyānam cattāri parivādīo neyavvāo, sesā natthi. There is said to be the capital, named Somā, of the great king Soma, a custodian of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, which is situated in the horizontal region, innumerable thousand yojanas directly below the Sandhyāprabha Mahāvimāna. The diameter of this great celestial abode is one lakh yojana like those of the Jambū Island. The number of palaces etc., are half the number of palaces in the Saudharma (Heaven) ...... up to there is the pūhikā (i.e., a platform at the entrance), sixteen thousand (16000) yojanas in diameter and a little less than fifty thousand five hundred and ninetyseven (50597) yojanas in circumference. There are four rows of his palaces.
The rest (i.e., the Sudharma Sabhā) does not exist there. 3.252 sakkassa nam devimdassa devaranno somassa mahāranno ime devā āņā
uvavāya-vayana-niddese citthamti, tam jahā-somakāiyā i vā, somadevayakāiyā i vā, vijjukumārā, vijjukumārio, aggikumārā, aggikumārio, vāyakumārā, vāyakumārio, camdā, sūrā, gahā, nakkhattā, tārārūvā— je yāvanne tahappagārā savve te tabbhattiyā, tappakkhiyā, tabbhūriyā sakkassa dedevimdassa devaranno somassa mahāranno ānā-uvavāya-vayana-niddese citthamti. The following are the gods who obey the command of great king Soma, a custodian of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods, attend upon him and carry out his orders and directives: Somakāyikas, Somadevakāyikas, Vidyutkumāras, Vidyutkumāris, Agnikumāras, Agnikumāris, Vayukumāras, Vayakumāris, moons, suns, planets, constellations and stars. All other similar gods nourish devotion for him, assist him in his purposes and are controlled and sustained by the great king Soma, a custodian of Sakra, the chief and the king of gods; they obey his command, attend upon him, and carry out his order and directives.
Bhāsya Semantics tadbhaktika-nourishing the devotion for Soma.' tatpākṣika-assisting Soma in his purposes.? tadbhārya—the Vrtti has given two forms of tabbhāriya-tadbhārya and tadbhārika. As they are controlled and sustained by Soma, they are called 'bhārya'. Alternately, as they carry the burden of Soma, they are called tadbhārika.”
