pinnacles; each pinnacle contains seven regions i.e. 8 X 7= 56 Kshetras or regions. This 56 Kshetras are also known as Antardwipas. In all 15+30+56 make 101 types. Then there are again 101 Garbhaj pariyapta, 101 non-Garbhaj Pariyapta and 101 Summurchim. All these give the total of 303 types of human beings.
Devlok has 198 types viz. 10 Bhavanpatis, 15 Parmadhami, 8 Vyantar, 8 Vanyantar, 10 Tiryagajambruk, 10 Jyotishi, 12 Vaimanik, 3 Lokantik, 3 Kilbishis, 9 Graivek and 5 Anuttar give 99 types; above 99 paryapta when added to 99 non-paryapta give 198 types of devtas.
