LECTURE XXXVI. 211 belonging to the Samsara, and 2. the perfected souls (siddhas). The latter are of many kinds; hear me explain them. (49) (1) The perfected souls are those of women, men, hermaphrodites, of orthodox, heterodox, and householders. (50) Perfection is reached by people of the greatest, smallest, and middle size}, on high places, underground, on the surface of the earth, in the ocean, and in water (of rivers, &c.). (51) Ten hermaphrodites reach, at the same time, perfection, twenty women, one hundred and eight men ; four householders, ten heterodox, and one hundred and eight orthodox monks. (52, 53) Two individuals of the greatest size reach perfection (simultaneously), four of the smallest size, and one hundred and eight of the middle size. (54) Four individuals reach perfection (simultaneously) on high places, two in the ocean, three in water, twenty underground, and one hundred and eight on the surface of the earth. (55) From where are the perfected souls debarred ? Where do the perfected souls reside? Where do they leave their bodies, and where do they go, on reaching perfection? (56) Perfected souls are debarred from the non-world (Aléka) ; they reside on the top of the world; they leave their bodies here (below), and go there, on reaching perfection. (57) Twelve Yéganas above the (Vim4na) Sarvartha is ! The greatest size (6g4ha”4) of men is 500 dhanus, or 2,000 cubits, the smallest one cubit. P2 212 UTTARADHYAYANA. the place called fshatpragbh4ra ?, which has the form of an umbrella; (there the perfected souls go). (58) It is forty-five hundred thousand Yéganas long, and as many broad, and it is somewhat more than three times as many in circumference. (59) Its thickness is eight Ydéganas, 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)

(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 Yégana thence is the end of the world. (62) The perfected souls penetrate the sixth part * of the uppermost Krésa of the (above-mentioned) Yégana. (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.

(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 Sams4ra, and reached the excellent state of perfection. (68) (2) Living beings which still belong to the Samsara, are of two kinds: a. movable, and J. immovable ones: the immovable ones are of three kinds : (69) a. Earth Lives, 6. Water Lives, and y. 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, Sdsaka *, antimony, 1 The words translated, ‘considered singly’ and ‘considered collectively,’ are égattéza and puhuttéza = ékatvéna and przthaktvéna.

(77) These thirty-six kinds of ‘rough earth’ have been enumerated. The ‘subtile earth’ is but of one kind, as there is no variety.

The Water Lives are of two kinds: subtile and gross ones; and both of them are either fully developed or undeveloped. (85) The gross and fully developed ones are of five kinds: pure water, dew, exudations, fog, and ice. (86) The ‘subtile water’ is of one kind, as there is no variety. The subtile species is distributed all over the world, but the gross one (is found) in a part of the world only. (87) With regard to the continuous flow, &c. (as in verse 80).
