planets, viz. the sun, fifty yojana in diameter; the moon, forty-nine; Mars,

Saturn, thirteen. 
Secondly, The heaven of Inpra, Tawatingsa; where the Devatas live to 
the age of 1,000 years, and they perform conjugal rites 346,000,000 of 
times. They follow mankind in their mode of generation. 
The following account of Inpra’s heaven has been extracted from the 
Milinda : 
« From the habitations of men to this heaven is 680,000 yojanas. 
“ His city, gloriously bright, is inclosed by a wall 10,000 yojanas in 
circuit. It has 1,000 gates. Within is his palace, magnificently studded 
with seven kinds of precious stones. ‘The height of this palace is 1,000 
yganas. ‘There is a splendid hall or building within the walls, where the 
happy inhabitants chaunt melodious hymns. It is 300 yojanas on every side.

length of the branches 100. The height from the lowest to the highest 
branch 100 yojanas ; the circuit of the branches and foliage 3,000 yojanas. 
« The seat of Inpra is placed below this umbrageous tree It is sixty 
yojanas in length; in breadth fifty, and in thickness fifteen. He has also at 
his command a flaming car, which is 150 yqjanas in length, ‘The body, or 
seat, is one yojana high, and the canopy over that three yajanas. The 
streamer, at the extremity of the pole, is 250 yojanas long.” 
The animals which draw this chariot are not specified, as far as I have 
been able to learn; but Sangermano’s account makes it to be dragged by 
2,000 horses. 
The elephant of Inpra, Erawauno, is in height 150 yojanas; but the 
Burmese and Siamese differ somewhat in their account of this elephant.
