The maximum life-durations of the Indras of the South, except that of Camarendra, is one and a half Palyopama.
Except that of Bali, the maximum life-durations of Indras of North are somewhat lesser than two Palyopamas each.
The expanse of the entire Ratnaprabha ground is eleven thousand Yojanas. Therein, after one thousand Yojanas, are the towns and cities of the Bhavanapati Indras.
All the palaces, therein, are quadrangular from within, circular from without and are naturally very beautiful, enjoyable and flawless. They are made of diamond stones.
The palaces of the Bhavanapti Indras are studded with crystal gems and the compound-walls of these palaces are made of gold.
Situated on the best lotus-petals, bedecked with various gem-studded frescoes, those palaces appear naturally enticing.
