The dwelling places are situated in the middle portion of all the earth of Ratnaprabhã as also in all the other earths excluding 1000 yojans at the top portion and 1000 yojans at the bottom portion i.e. The width of Ratnaprabhã earth is 180000 yojans. The Hell dwelling places are situated in the middle portion of 178000 yojans, excluding 1000 yojans at the top portion and 1000 yojans at the bottom portion. Similar is the position in all the earths; Except in the 7th Hell, where the top portion of 52,500 yojans and the bottom portion of 52,500 yojans are excluded and in the middle portion of 3000 yojans there are dwelling places for the lives of Hell.

The thickness of Ghanavãt and Tanuvaat in all the Hells, are of infinite yojans and the same is much more thicker, on every next earthHell, in downward direction.
