The Dev (gods) residing in the five earthly realms (Pṛthvī) can see up to the sixth earthly realm, while the nine Graiveyakavāsī Dev can see the entire Lokanāḍī (universe).
The Dev of each Kalpa (eon) cannot know anything beyond the area above the flagstaff of their respective Vimāna (celestial vehicle).
The extent of the knowledge of the Vaimānika Dev is the proof of their power of reaction.
Question 124: What is the order of Leshyā (color) in the Vaimānika Dev?
Answer: In Saudharma and Iśāna, there is a moderate amount of Pīta Leshyā (yellow color), in Sanatkumāra and Mahendra, there is an excellent amount of Pīta Leshyā with a negligible amount of Padma Leshyā (lotus color), in the six Brahmadik (Brahma and others), there is a moderate amount of Padma Leshyā, in the Shatar Yugal (pair of Shatar), there is an excellent amount of Padma Leshyā with a negligible amount of Shukla Leshyā (white color), in the four Ānatādi (Ānata and others) and the nine Graiveyakas, there is a moderate amount of Shukla Leshyā, and in the nine Anudiś (facing all directions) and five Anuttara (facing no direction) Vimānas, there is an excellent amount of Shukla Leshyā. Thus, these Leshyās are present in the Dev of the aforementioned heavens.
Question 125: In which aspects do the heavens have increasing abundance and decreasing abundance?
