DEVENDRASTAVA: 53
I have, thus described the life-durations of the Kalpapati Indras in the prescribed order. Now, listen to the description of the section pertaining to the Graiveyaka and Anuttaravimāna heavens.
The three Graiveyakas are - Lower, Middle and Upper. Each has three heavens. Thus, the number of Graiveyaka heavens is nine.
(The names of the nine Gariveyakas are) Sudarśana, Amogha, Suprabuddha, Yasodhara, Vatsa, Suvatsa, Sumanasa, Somanasa and Priyadarśana.
There are one hundred and eleven vimānas in the Lower Gariveyaka heavens, one hundred and seven in the middle ones and one hundred vimānas in the Upper Garaiveyakas. The number of Anuttara-vimānas is five.
O' Tender-bodied one! the life-durations of the gods of the lowest Graiveyaka heaven is twenty-three Sagaropama years, which keeps on increasing by one Sagaropama years in each of the upper ones.
