The space to which the light of one sun or moon extends is called a Sakwala, and includes an earth with its continents, islands, and oceans, as well as a series of hells and heavens. The Sakwala systems are divided into three classes, of which the Agnyn- setra denote those systems which receive the. ordinances of Buddha, or to which his authority extends. These systems are a hundred thousand kelas in number, each kela being ten millions.
