Gatha 430-436
The Saudharma and Aishana heaven gods see (know) up to the earth (hell) by their Avadhi knowledge. The Sanatkumara and Mahendra heaven gods know up to the second earth. The Brahma-Brahmottara-Lantaya-Fapishta heaven gods know up to the third earth. The Shukra-Mahashukra-Shatara-Sahasrar heaven gods know up to the fourth earth (hell). 430. The Pranat-Pranatbasi and Praran-Achyutniwasi heaven gods know up to the fifth earth (hell) and the Webakwasi heaven gods know up to the sixth earth (hell). 431. The Anuttara heaven gods know all the Lokanali by their Avadhi knowledge. All the Kalpawasi heaven gods know as many regions as there are in their respective fields, and they know the last part of the Avadhi knowledge-Avaraga karma dravya, which is obtained after giving away the part of the dravya in their respective Vinasopachya. 432-433-434. The time period of the Avadhi of the Saudharma and Aishana heaven gods is countless koti years. Above this, in four kalpas, the Avadhi time period is an immeasurable part of the Paly. After that, from the Lantab heaven to the Sarvarth Siddhi, the Avadhi time period is only a few Paly as per the situation. 435-436.
Special Meaning- The Saudharma and Eishana Kalpawasi heaven gods see from the upper surface of their Vimanas to the lower surface of the first earth (hell), a region that is one and a half Raju long and one Raju wide. The Sanatkumara and Mahendra Kalpawasi heaven gods know from the flagstaff of their Vimanas to the lower surface of the second earth, a region that is four Raju long and one Raju wide. The Brahma-Brahmottara Kalpawasi heaven gods know from the peak of their Vimanas to the lower surface of the third earth, a region that is five and a half Raju long and one Raju wide. The Lantab and Kapishta Vimanas heaven gods know from the peak of their Vimanas to the lower surface of the third earth, a region that is six Raju long and one Raju wide.
Doubt- How is it known that these regions are one Raju wide?
Solution- By the application of the 'Savvam cha Loyarpali' words used in the previous Gatha Sutra (432), it is clear from the Sihavalokan Nyaya that 'six Raju see all the Lokanali'. This is the meaning of the Sutra. From this, it is known that the width of the said regions is one Raju.
The Shukra and Mahashukra Kalpawasi heaven gods see from the peak of their Vimanas to the lower surface of the fourth earth, a Lokanali that is seven and a half Raju long and one Raju wide. The Shatara and Sahasrar Kalpawasi heaven gods see from the peak of their Vimanas to the lower surface of the fourth earth, a region that is eight Raju long and one Raju wide.
