Kalpa heaven 2 of 12
Īśāna
ईशान
Kalpa heaven 2, where the longest life runs to a little over 2 sāgaropama.
The 2nd of the twelve kalpa heavens. Its gods live at most a little over 2 sāgaropama, it holds 28,00,000 vimānas, and its Indra is Īśāna.
Gods of the two lowest kalpas still have physical union, as humans do. 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.
