As to the process concerning the kevala-s we are advised by Uvay § 141 ff; Thān 442 a To put it briefly, the Kevalın projects his soul atoms still infected with Karman from the vertex and the footpoint from the right and the left side, from the chest and the back in the shape of columns each reaching to the end of the world and then retracts them again.
