## The Third Chapter
The leaves of the Kalpa trees, which are always shining, are moved by a gentle, fragrant breeze. [36] These Kalpa trees, nourished by the strength of the land, born from the experience of time, are capable of fulfilling the desires of the beings there. [37] Because they grant the desires of the virtuous, these Kalpa trees are called Kalpa trees by the wise. [38] There are ten types of Kalpa trees: Madyaanga, Turyanga, Vibhushananga, Sraganga (Malyanga), Jyotiranga, Dipaanga, Grihaanga, Bhojananga, Patraanga, and Banaanga. They perform their functions according to their names, so they are only mentioned by name; there is no need for further elaboration. [39-40] Thus, the people there enjoy the fruits of their past good deeds for a long time, and at the end of their lives, they dissolve like the clouds of autumn. [41] At the end of their lives, they experience a yawn or a sneeze, and then, leaving their bodies, they ascend to heaven. [42] Because they are naturally gentle and virtuous, these blessed beings go to heaven; there is no other destination for them. [43] This is a description of the first period of the Avasarpini called Sushama-Sushama. The rest of the rules should be understood as being similar to those of Uttarakuru. [44] Then, as time progresses, the first period ends, and the strength of the Kalpa trees, the lifespan of the beings, their height, and other things begin to decline. Then, the second period called Sushama begins. Its measure is three Koti-Kodi oceans. [45-46] During that time, in this Bharatavarsha, the state of medium enjoyment prevails, with the Kalpa trees spreading great prosperity. [47] At that time, the people here were radiant like the gods, their lifespan was two Palyas.
