The longevity, at the most of those gods, manifested in celestial abodes, Śrīvatsa, Śrīdāmakānda, Malla, Krsta, Caponnata and Āraṇāvatarsaka, is expounded as twenty-one ocean similes. These gods breathe in or breathe forth or exhale or inhale [once] in every twenty-one fortnights and feel hunger after twenty-one thousand years. 21[4] संतेगतिया 19भवसिद्धिया [जीवा जे एक्कवीसाए भवग्गहणेहिं सिज्झिस्संति जाव [सव्वदुक्खाणमंतं] करेस्संति॥
