Accordingly, 鈥淸...] R膩va峁嘺, knowing the highest good, not considering it worthless, remained motionless like a high mountain, absorbed in preeminent meditation. 鈥榃ell done! Well done!鈥� was the cry of gods in the sky, and the Yak峁-servants departed quickly, terrified. One thousand 惫颈诲测腻s, the sky being lighted up by them, came to Da艣膩sya (=R膩va峁嘺), saying aloud, 鈥榃e are subject to you.鈥� [e.g., 础峁噄尘腻, ...] great 惫颈诲测腻s beginning with these were subdued by noble Da艣膩sya in just a few days because of his former good acts.

: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 3: The Lower and middle worlds础峁噄尘腻 (啶呧ぃ啶苦ぎ啶�) refers to 鈥渢ransforming the body into smaller stature鈥� and represents one of the eleven types of extraordinary form-changing (惫颈办谤颈测腻), which itself is a subclass of the eight 峁沝诲丑颈蝉 (extraordinary powers). These powers can be obtained by the 膧rya (civilized people) in order to produce worldly miracles. The 膧ryas represent one of the two classes of human beings according to the 2nd-century Tattv膩rthas奴tra 3.46, the other being Mleccha (barbarians).
What is meant by extraordinary power to transform into smaller stature (补峁噄尘腻-riddhi)? It is the extraordinary power by which one can transform his body into smaller stature.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
