Tattvārthasūtra
जयन्त, अपराजित तथा सर्वार्थसिद्धि इन पाँच अनुत्तर विमानों में वैमानिक देव रहते हैं।
The heavenly deva (vaimānika) reside in kalpa called Saudharma, Aiśāna, Sānatkumāra, Māhendra, Brahma, Brahmottara, Lāntava, Kāpiştha, Sukra, Mahāśukra, Śatāra, Sahasrāra, in Anata-Prāṇata, Araņa-Acyuta, in nine graiveyaka, and in Vijaya, Vaijayanta, Jayanta, Aparājita and Sarvārthasiddhi also.
How are Saudharma and the rest called kalpa? How are these the names of the lords (indra)? Naturally, or by association. How is it? It is as follows. 'Sudharmā' is the name of the courtroom. That which has this courtroom in it is called Saudharma kalpa, and the lord who is associated with this kalpa is called Saudharma. The lord (indra) has this natural name ‘Īśāna'. That which is the habitation of Īśāna is Aiśāna. By association with it the lord also is called Aiśāna. Again, ‘Sanatkumāra' is the natural name of the lord (indra). The kalpa got the name Sānatkumāra and, by association with it, the lord also is called Sānatkumāra. 'Mahendra' is the natural name of the lord (indra). The kalpa which is his habitation is Māhendra. By association with it the lord also is called Māhendra. Similarly it must be understood with regard to the rest. The arrangement must be understood in accordance with the Scripture. Due to the phrase ‘uparyupari' (see sūtra 4-18), the kalpa must be taken in pairs, and ‘one above the other'. The first pair consists of Saudharma and Aiśāna kalpa. Higher up are Sanatkumāra and Mahendra, higher still is Brahma and Brahmottara, and then Lantava and Kāpistha. Further up are Sukra and Mahāśukra. Then come Satāra and Sahasrāra, Anata and Prāṇata, and, finally, Āraņa and Acyuta. In two rows at the top and at the bottom, each kalpa must be understood to have one lord (indra) each. In the four rows in the middle there is one lord (indra) for
