Ācārya Umāsvāmī's Tattvārthasūtra: aaraluchtet: 118-811
देव चार समूह वाले हैं, अर्थात् देवों के चार निकाय हैं - भवनवासी, व्यन्तर, ज्योतिषी और वैमानिक।
The celestial beings – deva – are of four classes (nikāya).
The celestial beings (deva) get this status on the rise of the namekarma (nāmakarma) - devagati - leading to the celestial state; they roam freely and derive pleasure in several parts of the terrestrial world, the mountains and the oceans surrounding them. They are endowed with magnificence, splendour and extraordinary powers. The celestial beings are grouped in classes (nikāya), in spite of individual differences. Thus there are four classes of celestial beings. They are the residential (bhavanavāsī), the peripatetic (vyantara), the stellar (jyotiska) and the heavenly (vaimānika) deva.
