English:
Life span of Bhavanapati chiefs in southern half is one and a half Palyopam, of others it is one and three quarter Palyopam. For two Asurendras it is one Sāgaropam and above. In Saudharma it is two Sāgaropams, in Aishān it is a little more. In Sānatkumār it is seven Sāgaropams. From Māhendra to Achyut it is more than seven, more than ten, more than fourteen, more than seventeen, more than eighteen, more than twenty and more than twenty-two Sāgaropams respectively. In nine Graiveyaks and five Anuttar realms the life span increases by one Sāgaropam each.

These sutras deal with the maximum life spans. Bhavanapati area consists of ten abodes as mentioned in Sutra 4.11. Each of them is divided into northern and southern halves. In Asurkumār abode, the chief of southern half (known as Chamar) has a life span of one Palyopam, while that in northern half (known as Bali) has a little longer than that. In the rest of Bhavanapati abodes the chiefs of southern halves have a life span of one and a half Palyopam, while those of northern halves have one and three-quarter Palyopam.

There are twelve realms of Vaimanik beings as mentioned in sutra 4.20. Of these, the maximum life span in the first realm (Saudharma) is of two Sāgaropams, in the second (Aishān) it is a little more and in the third (Sānat) it is seven Sāgaropams. In fourth (Māhendra) it is more than seven, in fifth (Brahmalok) it is more than ten, in sixth (Lāntak) it is more than fourteen, in seventh (Mahāshukra) it is more than seventeen, in eighth (Sahasrār) it is more than eighteen, in ninth (Ānat) and tenth (Prānat) it is more than twenty and in eleventh (Aran) and twelfth (Achyut) it is more than twenty-two. In Graiveyak realms the life span goes on increasing by one Sāgaropam each till īt reaches 31 Sāgaropams in 9th Graiveyak. In four Anuttar realms it is 32 Sāgaropams and in Sarvārrthasiddhi it is 33 Sāgaropams.
