THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE JAINAS.
सृपाटेन च गम्यते आदितः चतुर्षु कल्पयुगल इति । ततः द्वियुगलयुगले कीलितनाराचार्द्ध इति ॥ २६ ॥
29. By (the 6th, i. e., Sripáțiká) osseous structure (in which there are no peculiar joints but only ligatures) the soul goes from the first to the 4 pairs of heavens, (i. e., up to the 8th heaven Kápishtha). And those of (the 5th), Kilita (small joints and bones) and of (4th) Ardha-nárácha (big joints on one side and bones) respectively go further to two pairs each (of the heavens).
Commentary.
The soul with 6th osseous structure can go up to the 8th heaven, but not beyond.
The soul with 5th osseous structure can go up to the 12th heaven, but not beyond.
The soul with 4th osseous structure can go up to the 16th heaven, but not beyond.

In determining the highest heaven attainable by one, the lowest kind of osseous structure should be taken account of, e. g. if one has the third and second mixed, he cannot go beyond the 9 Graiveyakas.
