अध्याय-४
The maximum lifetime of deva in Sānatkumāra and Māhendra kalpa is a little over seven sāgaropama.
The lifetimes of deva from Brahmaloka to Acyuta kalpa are indicated next.
त्रिसप्तनवैकादशत्रयोदशपञ्चदशभिरधिकानि तु ॥३१॥
पूर्व सूत्र में कहे हुए युगल की सात सागरोपम की उत्कृष्ट आयु से क्रमपूर्वक तीन, सात, नौ, ग्यारह, तेरह और पन्द्रह सागरोपम से अधिक आयु उसके बाद के ब्रह्म-बह्मोत्तर आदि कल्पों में है।
From Brahma-Brahmottara to Lāntava-Kāpiştha sets of kalpa the maximum lifetime of deva is more by three, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen and fifteen sāgaropama.
From the previous sūtra, 'seven' is taken. It is added to three, etc. Three added to seven, seven added to seven, and so on. Similarly, these must be taken with sets of two kalpa. The word 'tu' is intended to indicate particularity. What particularity does it indicate? 'A little over' supplied from the previous sūtra (4-29) is taken only with the first four sets and not the last two. It is as follows. The lifetime of deva in Brahma-Brahmottara is a little over ten sāgaropama, in LāntavaKāpiştha a little over fourteen sāgaropama, in Sukra-Mahaśukra a little over sixteen sagaropama, in Satāra-Sahasrāra a little over eighteen sāgaropama, in Anata-Prānata twenty sāgaropama, and in Āraņa-Acyuta twenty-two sāgaropama.
The lifetimes of the rest are mentioned next.
