तियग्लोके सन्ति तिर्यङ्मनुष्या,: प्रायो देवा ऊर्ध्वलोके वसन्ति । नीचैर्लोक नारकाद्याः प्रभूताः, सर्वस्याने मुक्तजीवाः सुखाढयाः ॥७७॥
Meaning :- in the Madhya-Loka or the Tiryag-Loka, generally animals and human beings dwell (though Vana-vyantara gods, jumbhaka and Jyotisi gods also dwell within the limits of the middle world but they are not in majority). In the Urdhva-Loka the Vaimanika gods reside for the most part and in the Adho-Loka the hellish being and the devils of the type of Bhavanapati dwell. At the top of these three worlds, that is to say. at the top the liberated Souls dwell in final beatitude, without any worries, and with uniterrupted, eternal happiness. (77)
