Perfected souls are debarred from the non-world (Aloka); they reside on the top of the world; they leave their bodies here (below), and go there, on reaching perfection. (57)

Twelve Yoganas above the (Vimana) Sarvartha is

the place called Ishatpragbhara , which has the form of an umbrella; (there the perfected souls go). (58)

It is forty-five hundred thousand Yoganas long, and as many broad, and it is somewhat more than three times as many in circumference. (59)

Its thickness is eight Yoganas, it is greatest in the middle, and decreases toward the margin, till it is thinner than the wing of a fly. (60)

This place, by nature pure, consisting of white gold, resembles in form an open umbrella, as has been said by the best of Ginas. (61)

(Above it) is a pure blessed place (called Sita), which is white like a conch-shell, the anka-stone , and Kunda-flowers; a Yogana thence is the end of the world. (62)

The perfected souls penetrate the sixth part of the uppermost Krosa of the (above-mentioned) Yogana. (63)

There at the top of the world reside the blessed perfected souls, rid of all transmigration, and arrived at the excellent state of perfection. (64)

The dimension of a perfected soul is two-thirds of the height which the individual had in his last existence. (65)

The perfected souls, considered singly, (as individuals) have a beginning but no end; considered

collectively (as a class) they have neither a beginning nor an end. (66)

They have no (visible) form, they consist of Life throughout, they are developed into knowledge and, faith, and they possess paramount happiness which admits of no comparison. (67)

They all dwell in one part of the world, and have developed into knowledge and faith, they have crossed the boundary of the Samsara, and reached the excellent state of perfection. (68)

(2) Living beings which still belong to the Samsara, are of two kinds: a. movable, and b. immovable ones: the immovable ones are of three kinds: (69)

a. Earth Lives, b. Water Lives, and g. plants; these are the three kinds of immovable living beings; now learn from me their subdivision. (70)

a. The Earth Lives are of two kinds: subtile and gross; and both of them are either fully developed or undeveloped. (71)

The gross and fully developed are of two kinds: viz. smooth or rough. The smooth ones are of seven kinds: (72)

Black, blue, red, yellow, white, pale dust, and clay.

The rough ones are of thirty-six kinds: (73)

Earth, gravel, sand, stones, rocks, rock-salt , iron, copper, tin, lead, silver, gold, and diamond; (74)

Orpiment, vermilion, realgar, Sasaka , antimony,

coral, Abhrapatala, Abhravaluka; these are varieties of gross (Earth-) bodies and kinds of precious stones. (75)

Hyacinth, natron, Anka, crystal, Lohitaksha, emerald, Masaragalla, Bhugamokaka, and sapphire; (76)
