These Anuttara gods inhabit the highest heavens where they live for varying lengths of time as the heavens ascend; and in the fifth or highest—­the great Vimana called Sarvarthasiddha—­they all live thirty-three Sagaropamas or periods of unimagiable duration.  Still all the gods are mortal or belong to the sa[.m]sara.

Above these is the paradise of the Siddhas or perfected souls, and the Uttaradhyana Sutra gives the following details of this realm of the perfected, or the paradise of the Jainas:—­[Footnote:  See ante, p. 11, note 10; The following extract is from Sac.  Books of the East, vol.  XLV, pp. 211-213.]

“The perfected souls are those of women, men, hermaphrodites, of orthodox, heterodox, and householders.  Perfection is reached by people of the greatest, smallest and middle size; [Footnote:  The greatest size—­ogaha[n.]a—­of men is 500 dhanush or 2000 cubits, the smallest is one cubit.] on high places, underground, on the surface of the earth, in the ocean, and in waters (of rivers, etc.).

  “Ten hermaphrodites reach perfection at the same time, twenty women,
  one hundred and eight men; four householders, ten heterodox, and one
  hundred and eight orthodox monks.

“Two individuals of the greatest size reach perfection (simultaneously), four of the smallest size, and one hundred and eight of the middle size.  Four individuals reach perfection (simultaneously) on high places, two in the ocean, three in water, twenty underground; and where do they go on reaching perfection?  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.

“Twelve yojanas above the (Vimana) Sarvartha is the place called Ishatpragbhara, which has the form of an umbrella; (there the perfected souls go).  It is forty-five hundred thousand yojanas long, and as many broad, and it is somewhat more than three times as many in circumference.  Its thickness is eight yojanas, it is greatest in the middle, and decreases towards the margin, till it is thinner than the wing of a fly.  This place, by nature pure, consisting of white gold, resembles in form an open umbrella, as has been said by the best of Jinas.

“(Above it) is a pure blessed place (called [’S]ita), which is white like a conch-shell, the anka-stone, and Kunda-flowers; [Footnote:
