In order to understand the importance of Aatma, we need to understand the size of Teen Lok.
There is not one place in entire 343 Raju^3 of Teen Lok which we have not seen. Which means we have taken infinite births and deaths at every point in space.
There are 8 planets. 7 planets are in hell or Narak. 1 planet at top called Ishat Prak Bhar and Siddh shila is at its centre.
List of Narak Prithvi:
- Ratnaprabha-Jewels
- Sharkaraprabha-Sugar
- Balukaprabha-Dirt
- Pankprabha-Mud
- Dhumprabha-Smoke
- Tamprabha-Darkness
- Mahatamprabha-Intense darkness
Name describes the amount of light available at these places. Prabha means light.
There are 3 layers of Ratnaprabha which is 180000 yojan in height
- Khar bhag-16000 yojan
- Pank bhag-84000 yojan
- Abbahul bhag-80000 yojan
Narki live in Abbahul. Dev lok live in Khar(9/10 Bhavanvasi & 7/8 Vyantar) and Pank bhag(Asurkumar bhavanvasi & Rakshas jati vyantar dev).
There are 16 partitions of Khar bhag each layer being 1000 yojan in height. 1st layer is called Chitra. We live on top of it. Filled with Vichitra Metals upto 1000 Yojan deep.
Understanding Measurements and Scale:
Following is covered under Kaal Chakra book.
Vyavhar
| 1 Angul | 0.75 inch |
| 1 Paad | 6 angul |
| 1 Vilast | 2 Paad |
| 1 haath | 2 Vilast |
| 1 dhanush | 4 haath |
| 1 Kos | 2000 dhanush |
| 1 Yojan | 4 Kos |
Praman
1 Praman Angul = 500 Vyavhar Angul
So 1 Yojan = 2000 Kos
Aatm
It is measurement of our own hand size. 1 Aatmangul will vary person to person.
Every person as per his own measurement is 3.5 Haath.
