惭腻丑别苍诲谤补 (啶�啶距す啷囙え啷嵿う啷嵿��) refers to a heavenly abode (kalpa) inhabited by Kalpopapanna gods, according to Jain cosmological texts in both the 艢vet膩mbara and Digambara tradition. The Kalpopapannas (鈥榯hose born in the heavens鈥�) represent a sub-species of the Vaim膩nika gods, which in turn represents the fourth main classification of devas (gods). This kalpa is also known as 惭腻丑别苍诲谤补kalpa. In this specific kalpa, instead of bodily coition, a more and more refined sort of sexual satisfaction takes its place. The associated 濒别艣测腻 is lotus-pink. There are ten such kalpas being ruled over by sixty-four Indras (heavenly kings).

In Jain iconography, the associated animal symbol of the 惭腻丑别苍诲谤补-kalpa is a lion (prakrit: 蝉墨丑补, sanskrit: 蝉颈峁僪补). These animals are depicted in a cosmological text of the 艢vet膩mbara tradition known as the Sa峁僩rah补峁嚹玶atna (鈥渏ewel of the compilation鈥�), also known as the Trailokyad墨pik膩 (鈥渋llumination of the triple world鈥�), written by 艢r墨candra in the 12th century.
