The Base of Boundless Consciousness (vijñānānantyāyatana), also called the Wisdom Heaven of the Base of Consciousness. The heavenly lifespan is twenty-one thousand kalpas, or slightly less (from the Saṃyukta Āgama; the Loutan jing calls it 'Consciousness-Knowing Heaven'). The Base of Nothingness (ākiṃcanyāyatana), also called the Wisdom Heaven of the Base of Nothingness, or the Base of Non-Possession. There was Udraka [Rāmaputra], who did not accept the Buddha's conversion and passed away on his own; the Buddha prophesied that this man would be born in the Base of Non-Possession, and that upon discarding that body he would become a border-land king and harm people, afterwards being born into hell. The heavenly lifespan is forty-two thousand kalpas, though some live slightly less (from the Dīrgha and Ekottarika Āgamas; the Loutan jing calls it 'Ajierenran Heaven').
