A level of spiritual development which is the highest on earth and the Earth Chain, according to Helena P. Blavatsky. It has a name which when translated means “the ever-living-human-Banyan.” This being descended from a “high region” during the Third Root Race, before the separation of the sexes (SD I:207).

Next to this level is the 7th-rung Arhats of the “fire-mist,” who are three levels higher than the Arhat initiation in Buddhism.
