Kalpa heaven 3 of 12
Sanatkumāra
सनत्कुमार
Kalpa heaven 3, where the longest life runs to 7 sāgaropama.
The 3rd of the twelve kalpa heavens. Its gods live at most 7 sāgaropama, it holds 12,00,000 vimānas, and its Indra is Sanatkumāra.
Union here is by touch alone; the bodies do not join. The scheme is called pravīcāra, and it is the real measure of these tiers: as you rise, the mode of satisfaction grows thinner, until above Acyuta it stops altogether and the The nine Graiveyaka gods have none at all.
