UTTARADHYAYANA.
Bhútas, Yakshas, Râkshasas, Kinnaras, Kimpurushas, Mahôragas, and Gandharvas. (206)
3. The moons, the suns, the Nakshatras, the planets, and the hosts of stars are the fivefold dwellings of the Gyôtishkas. (207)
4. The Vaimânika gods are of two kinds : a'. those who are born in the heavenly Kalpas, and b. those who are born in the regions above them1. (208)
a. The former are of twelve kinds: those who live in (the following Kalpas, after which they are named): Saudharma, Isâna, Sanatkumâra, Mâhêndra, Brahmalôka, and Lantaka; (209)
Mahâsukla, Sahasrâra, Ânata, Prânata, Ârana, and Akyuta. These are the gods who are born in Kalpas. (210)
b'. The gods who are born in the regions above the Kalpas are of two kinds: a. the Graivêyakas3, and B'. the Anuttaras. The Graivêyakas are of nine kinds. (211)
a. The lowest of the lowest, the middle of the lowest, the highest of the lowest, the lowest of the middle; (212)
The middle of the middle, the highest of the middle, the lowest of the highest, the middle of the highest; (213)
The highest of the highest. These are the Graivêyaka gods.
'They are termed Kalpôpaga and Kalpâtîta.
2 I am not sure that these are the correct Sanskrit forms of the
two last Kalpas; the original has Anaya and Pânaya.
I.e. those who live on the neck (grîva), i. e. on the upper part of the universe.
I.e. those above whom there dwell no other gods.
