8.1.p2

It was then that the Bhagavān addressed the monks, “Of those who get forms that are large, none surpass the asura king. Monks, you should know, that asura’s form is 84,000 *yojana*s long, with a mouth that’s a thousand *yojana*s across. Monks, you should know that there are times when the asura king wants to encroach on the sun. He doubles his body to 168,000 *yojana*s and moves in front of the sun and moon.
