8. BHŪMI.
1 (791b) The fifteen places where karman is bound and consumed (kamma-bh ü mi) are the five Bharahas, the five Eravayas and the five Mahāvidehas. The thirty places that are free from karman (akamma-bh.) are the five Hemavayas, the five Herannavayas, the five Harivāsas, the five Rammagavāsas, the five Devakuras and the five Uttarakuras. Measured time (ussappinī and osappini) does not exist there, nor does it exist in the Mahāvidehas where time is said to be stationary (avatthie ņam tattha kāle).
Lehre par. 113 and 117.—Cf. Thāņa 2018. Once the appellation is saman'āuso.
2 (791b) In the Mahāvidehas all twenty-four Arhats preach the Doctrine of the Four Restraints (caujjāma dhamma); in the Bharahas and the Eravayas only twenty-two do so, whereas the first and the last Arhat preach the Doctrine of the Five Vows and Confession (panca-mahavvaiya sapadikkamana dhamma).
Cf. Thāņa 2012.

3b (792a) Between these twenty-four Tīrthankaras there are twenty-three intermediate times (jiņ'antara). The Kāliya-suya falls into decay (voccheda) during the seven middle interims (viz 9 up to 15), the Ditthivāya during all of the twenty-three interims.
