The human beings born in Haimavata are 'haimavataka'. Similarly, with regard to the others - 'hārivarşaka' and 'daivakuravaka'. ‘Haimavataka’ and the rest are three. One and the others are three. These are considered, respectively. The lifetime of ‘haimavataka' is one palyopama, that of 'hārivarşaka' is two palyopama, and that of daivakuravaka’is three palyopama.

There the period of susamaduşşamā prevails always; the lifetime of human beings is one palyopama; the height is two thousand bows (dhanusa); they take food on alternate days; the colour of their bodies is like the blue lotus. In the five Harivarsa regions the period of susamā prevails always. The lifetime of human beings is two palyopama; the height is four thousand bows (dhanușa); they take food after an interval of two days; the colour of their bodies is white like the conch-shell. In the five Devakuru regions the period of susamasuşamā prevails always.
