ચાર પ્રકારના દેવThe four kinds of devs

Bhavanpati and vyantar devs live in the upper part of the first narak bhumi; jyotishk devs, the sun, moon, grahas, nakshatras and stars, in the sky of the madhya lok; and vaimanik devs in vimans in the urdhva lok.

બાર દેવલોકThe twelve devlok

Saudharma and Ishan side by side, then Sanatkumar and Mahendra; above them, one over another, Brahmalok, Lantak, Mahashukra and Sahasrar; then Anat and Pranat, and Aran and Achyut, side by side. Saudharmendra, the Indra of the first devlok, leads the devs at the Tirthankars' kalyanaks.

લોકાંતિક દેવLokantik devs

At the edge of Brahmalok live the lokantik devs. A year before a Tirthankar's diksha they come to request him to set up the tirth.

ગ્રૈવેયક અને અનુત્તરGraiveyak and anuttar

Above the twelve devlok are the nine graiveyak, at the neck of the lok-purush, and then the five anuttar vimans: Vijay, Vaijayant, Jayant, Aparajit and, at the centre, Sarvarthasiddh. A dev of Sarvarthasiddh attains moksha in the very next human birth.

સિદ્ધશિલાSiddhashila

Twelve yojan above Sarvarthasiddh lies Siddhashila, and above it, at the top of the lok, the siddha bhagwants.
