आरणाच्युतादूर्ध्वमेकैकेन नवसु ग्रैवेयकेषु विजयादिषु
Hafeff Host 113711
आरण और अच्युत कल्पों से ऊपर के नव ग्रैवेयकों में, नव अनुदिशों में, और चार विजयादिक में देवों की उत्कृष्ट आयु एक-एक सागरोपम अधिक है। तथा सर्वार्थसिद्धि में तैंतीस सागरोपम ही स्थिति है।
Above Arana-Acyuta, in each of the nine graiveyaka, in nine anudiśa, in four Vijaya, etc., the maximum lifetime of deva is more and more by one sāgaropama. In Sarvārthasiddhi, it is thirty-three sāgaropama only.
‘More' is supplied. It must be taken thus: ‘more by one and one'. Why is nine mentioned? It is in order to indicate that in each graiveyaka the lifetime is more by one sāgaropama. Otherwise, the increase in all nine graiveyaka would be only one. The word 'ādi' with Vijaya' denotes kinds. By this the anudiśa are included. Sarvārthasiddhi is mentioned separately as here there is no minimum. This is the purport. In the lower graiveyaka, the maximum lifetime is twentythree sāgaropama in the first, twenty-four sāgaropama in the second, and twenty-five sāgaropama in the third. In the middle graiveyaka, the maximum lifetime is twenty-six sāgaropama in the first, twentyseven sāgaropama in the second and twenty-eight sāgaropama in the third. In the upper graiveyaka, the maximum lifetime is twenty-nine sāgaropama in the first, thirty sāgaropama in the second and thirtyone sāgaropama in the third. In the nine anudisa vimāna, the maximum lifetime is thirty-two sāgaropama. In Vijaya and the others, the maximum lifetime is thirty-three sāgaropama. In Sarvārthasiddhi it is fixed at thirty-three sāgaropama, with no minimum lifetime.
The minimum lifetime is mentioned next.
