The Tirthakuras may be regarded as the _dii majores_ of the Jainas,
[Footnote: For an account of the ritual of the Svetambara sect of Jainas,
see my account in the _Indian Antiquary_, vol. XIII, pp. 191-196.]
though, having become Siddhas, emancipated from all concern, they can have
no interest in mundane affairs. They and such beings as are supposed to
have reached perfection are divided into fifteen species:

1. Tirthakarasiddhas;
2. Atirthakarasiddhas;
3. Tirthasiddhas;
4. Svali[.n]gasiddas;
5. Anyali[.n]gasiddhas;
6. Strili[.n]gasiddhas;
7. Purushali[.n]gasiddhas;
8. Napu[.m]sakali[.n]gasiddhas;
9. G[r.]ihali[.n]gasiddhas;
10. Tirthavyavachchhedasiddhas;
11. Pratyekabuddhasiddhas;
12. Svayambuddhasiddhas;
13. Ekasiddas;
14. Anekasiddhas;
15. Buddhabodhietasiddllas.

But the gods are divided into four classes, and each class into several
orders: the four classes are:--

I. Bhavanadhipatis, Bhavanavasins or Bhaumeyikas, of which there are ten
orders, viz.--

1. Asurakumaras;
2. Nagakumaras;
3. Ta[d.]itkumaras or Vidyutkumaras;
4. Suvar[n.]a- or Suparnaka-kumaras;
5. Agnikumaras;
6. Dvipakumaras (Divakumaras);
7. Udadhikumaras;
8. Dikkumaras;
9. Pavana- or Vata-kumaras;
10. Gha[n.]ika- or Sanitakumaras.

II. Vyantaras or Va[n.]amantaras, who live
in woods are of eight classes:--

1. Pi['s]achas;
2. Bhutas;
3. Yakshas;
4. Rakshasas;
5. Kimnaras;
6. Kimpurushas;

III. The Jyotishkas are the inhabitants of;

1. Chandras or the moons;
2. Suryas or the suns;
3. Grahas or the planets;
4. Nakshatras or the constellations;
5. Taras or the hosts of stars.

And IV. The Vaimanika gods are of two orders: (1) the Kalpabhavas, who
are born in the heavenly Kalpas; and (2) the Kalpatitas, born in the
regions above the Kalpas.

(1) The Kalpabhavas again are subdivided into twelve genera who live in
the Kalpas after which they are named; viz,--

1. Saudharma;
