The longevity, at the most, of those gods, manifested in middle of the lower Graiveyaka paradise, is expounded twenty-six ocean simile (sāgaropama). These gods breathe in or breathe forth or exhale or inhale [once] in every twenty-six fortnights and feel hunger after twenty six thousand year. 26[4] संतेगतिया भवसिद्धिया जीवा जे छब्बीसाए भवग्गहणेहिं सिज्झिस्संति जाव अंतं करेस्संति।
Among the fit to be liberated ones, the few will liberate; will annihilate [the entire miseries] in the [subsequent] twenty-sixth re-birth.
