37. Here the Sanskrit reads tatra rūpa­bhavaḥ katamaḥ tadyathā brahma­kāyikāḥ brahma­purohitāḥ mahā­brāhmaṇaḥ parīttābhāḥ apramāṇābhāḥ ābhāsvarāḥ parītta­śubhāḥ śubha­kṛtsnāḥ anabhrakāḥ puṇya­prasavāḥ bṛhat­phalāḥ avṛhāḥ atapāḥ sudṛśāḥ sudarśanāḥ akaniṣṭhāś ceti (Samtani 1971, p. 12). This could be translated as “What, then, is existence with form? It is those in the Brahmā group, the Provosts of Brahmā, the Great Brahmās, Limitedly Splendid, Splendid without Measure, Wholly Good, Unclouded, Merit Increasing, Abundant Result, Not Great, Without Pain, Seeing Well, Good Sight, and Lesser than None.”
