Multiplying by yojanas (1 raju x 1 raju x 110 yojanas), the resulting area, excluding the inaccessible region, is the abode of the celestial deities.

Three yojanas above the moon are the stars, and three yojanas above the stars is the position of Mercury. Three yojanas above Mercury is Venus, three yojanas above Venus is Jupiter, one yojana above Jupiter is Mars, and four yojanas above Mars is Saturn. Thus, this entire celestial cycle is located in the sky, with a height of one hundred and ten yojanas and an immeasurable length of island groups, or a vast expanse of air, extending one raju in length from east to west and one raju in width from south to north.
**Question 17:** What is the measure of the inaccessible region?
**Answer:** According to Triloksar Gatha 345, "The celestial bodies travel leaving behind Mount Sumeru, which is 1121 yojanas."

Adding these two together, the celestial deities'
