仁王般若經疏 1.48

1.48

第七列梵眾，有四：初總標數、二別列名數、三歎德、四總結。初以萬數萬故，故云萬萬億也。三淨下，第二別列數。三淨者，第三禪三天，謂小淨、無量淨、遍淨；三光是第二禪三天，謂少光、無量光、光音；三梵者是初禪三天，一梵眾、二梵輔、三大梵。五喜樂天者，四禪有九天，一果實天、二小果天、三廣果、四無相，此四天不論，唯列後五。五喜樂者，是五淨居天，此人喜樂論義名喜樂，一無煩、二無熱、三善現、四善可見、五色究竟。天定功德下，第三歎德。天定者報定，即是報禪報五陰也。功德定者淨定，即是淨禪善有漏五陰。味者即是味定，愛著禪定也。常樂神通者，修得神通、報得神通二種也。十八生處功德皆成就，總結上四禪十八天也。

Seventh, listing the assembly of the Brahmā [heavens], which has four [parts]: first, generally indicating the number; second, separately listing the names and numbers; third, praising their virtues; fourth, concluding summary. First, because ten thousand is multiplied by ten thousand, it says 'ten thousand times ten thousand koṭis'. From 'three Purity' onward, second, separately listing the numbers. The 'three Purity' are the three heavens of the Third Dhyāna: Minor Purity, Immeasurable Purity, and Universal Purity. The 'three Radiance' are the three heavens of the Second Dhyāna: Minor Radiance, Immeasurable Radiance, and Radiant Sound. The 'three Brahmā' are the three heavens of the First Dhyāna: 1. Brahmā's Assembly, 2. Brahmā's Retinue, 3. Great Brahmā. The 'five Joyous and Blissful heavens': the Fourth Dhyāna has nine heavens: 1. Fruit-Bearing Heaven, 2. Minor Fruit Heaven, 3. Vast Fruit, 4. Markless; these four heavens are not discussed, but only the latter five are listed. The 'five Joyous and Blissful' are the five Pure Abodes; because these beings rejoice in debating doctrinal meanings, they are called 'Joyous and Blissful': 1. Effortless, 2. Heatless, 3. Good Manifestation, 4. Well Visible, 5. Ultimate Form. From 'celestial absorption merits' onward, third, praising their virtues. 'Celestial absorption' is retribution absorption, which is retribution dhyāna and retribution five skandhas. 'Merit absorption' is pure absorption, which is pure dhyāna and wholesome defiled five skandhas. 'Taste' is taste-absorption, being attached to dhyāna absorption. 'Constant bliss and superknowledges' are the two kinds: superknowledges obtained by cultivation and superknowledges obtained by retribution. 'With the merits of the eighteen birthplaces all completely perfected' summarily concludes the eighteen heavens of the four dhyānas above.
