9 LOKANTIKS :- They dwell in the fifth heaven. From there they would attain humanlife and then attain liberation. So, lok = sansar, ant = end, they are at the end of sansar and are thus called Lokantik. When the Lord tirthankars accept ascetism, Lokantik deities come, a year before, to request them to accept ascetism. The Lords themselves are aware of their time to renounce the world. But it's a custom of the lokantik dieties, so, they have to fulfil it.
KILBISHIYAS - Deities who are mean like scavengers are called Kilbishiyas. They dwell beneath the first, second, third, fourth and sixth heavens.
