Kshetra-kshetraaajnyavibhaga Yoga
The male who measures from his neck downwards nine times the size of his face and similarly the female who measures her neck down eight measures of the size of the face and those males and females who measure with their ninety six fingers, with their palms to the extent of ten in number, and with their feet to the extent of seven in number, should be considered similar to great gods. The gradation from the supreme one gets reduced in decreasing order by the measure of five fingers. Similarly the measure of feet also goes on reducing till it reaches one feet. This is in reference to the gods who are not among the supreme Gods. From the measure which bas been mentioned in respect of the gods, the measure gets reduced by four fingures. And similarly by the measure of seven feet spoken for the gods gets reduced by one measure in respect of Gandharvas etc. The above measures is in respect of Gandharvas elevated from humans, Kings, and best of the human beings. Less than eighty seven measures puts one in amongst the Asuras and the human beings who are destined for eternal samsara. The measure between ninety six and eighty seven keeps the Gandharvas of divine origin. Seers are less than ninety two measures from the lowest among the order of the gods. In accordance to the measure of the pleasure of Sri Vishnu, each one of the male or female assumes similarity to Him. |
