________________ 245. 246. 248. 249. 247. These gods have bodies that don't show age and which always appear fresh and clean. They wear garlands which don't wilt, their exhalation is fragrant, they emit light and their eye-lids don't bat. 250. DEVENDRASTAVA: 73 Out of those Deva-vimānas, the flame coloured ones, where the gods live, appear like the Hingula metal or the Japa flower or the Sun. Out of those Deva-vimānas, the yellow coloured ones, where the gods live, appear like the Koranta metal or the blooming yellow flower or turmeric. All gods are skilled in seventy-two skills. They always fall from the heavens during the process of change of birth. (ie. on the expiry of their heavenly life-span, the gods are always reborn in species, which are lower than their own). The natural bodies of those gods, who enjoy the fruits of their meritorious karma, are without clothes or jwells. However, they wear clothes and jwells manifested at will. Like the round mustard-grains are exactly alike, these gods are also exactly similar in their glories, complexions, statures, sizes, and life-spans etc. 251. There, in those Kalpa heavens, there are five hundred black, blue, red, yellow and white tall and graceful mansions and palaces. 252. There are many types of seats, large and decorated bedsteads, clothes, jewells and gem-garlands, which are studded with hundreds of precious gems.
