The âgâna ga Gods are explained as born in the world of the Devas through their good works (smârta), while the Karmadevas are explained as born there through their sacred works (vaidika). The Fathers or Manes are called Kiraloka, because they remain long, though not for ever, in their world. 62 explains the human Gandharvas as men who have become Gandharvas, a kind of fairies divine Gandharvas, as Gandharvas by birth. If we place the three lists side by side, we find. In the B rihad-âra nyaka-upanishad we have Men, Fathers, Gandharvas, Gods by merit, Gods by birth, Pra gâpati, and Brahman. The scale begins in the Mâdhyandina- sâkhâ with men, who are followed by the Fathers (pitaro gitalokâ h), the Gods by merit (karmadevâ h), the Gods by birth (âgânadevâ h, with whom the Srotriya is joined), the world of Gods, the world of Gandharvas, the world of Pra gâpati, the world of Brahman. Here, too, the highest measure of happiness is ascribed to the Brahmaloka, and other beings are supposed to share a certain measure only of its supreme happiness. Such a list would seem to be the invention of an individual rather than the result of an old tradition, if it did not occur in a very similar form in the Satapatha-brâhma na, Mâdhyandina- sâkhâ XIV, 7, 1 ,31, Kâ nva- sâkhâ (B rih. We have Men, human Gandharvas, divine Gandharvas, Fathers (pitara s kiralokalokâ h), born Gods (âgâna gâ devâ h), Gods by merit (karmadevâ h), Gods, Indra, B rihaspati, Pra gâpati, Brahman. He who knows this, when he has departed this world, reaches and comprehends the Self which consists of food, the Self which consists of breath, the Self which consists of mind, the Self which consists of understanding, the Self which consists of bliss.Ħ1:2 In giving the various degrees of happiness, the author of the Upanishad gives us at the same time the various classes of human and divine beings which we must suppose were recognised in his time. (5) He 1 who is this (Brahman) in man, and he who is that (Brahman) in the sun, both are one 2.
