This unit of bliss of man multiplied hundred fold is the bliss of human Gandharvas and this is also the bliss of one, versed in the Vedas and who is free from desires. A hundred-fold of the bliss of the human-Gandharvas is the unit of measure of the bliss of the celestial Gandharvas. This is the same as the bliss of one who is well versed in the Vedas and who is free from desires. A hundred-fold of the bliss of the celestial-Gandharvas is the unit of measure of the joy of the Manes, whose world continues for long. the same is the joys expressed by one well-vesed in the vedas and who is free from desires. This joy of Manes whose worlds are relatively immortal, multiplied by a hundred-fold is one unit of trhe joy of the Ajanaja gods born in the Deva loka. And it is also the measure of the bliss of the Srotriya who has transcended all his desires.
