「娑婆世界主」下，第二、次列色界天眾。娑婆世界此云雜惡亦云雜會。「大梵天王名尸棄」者，有人言：大梵天王即初禪梵王，尸棄即二禪梵王，光明大梵即三禪梵王，言等者第四禪也。光宅所用是也。有人言：娑婆世界主者摩醯首羅，第四禪梵王也；尸棄者，三禪梵王也；光明者，二禪梵王也；等者，初禪梵王也。今依《智度論》第一卷云「娑婆世界主梵天王名尸棄」，娑婆世界主，此舉處以顯其為主也；大梵天王，出其位也；尸棄者，標其名也。新《金光明》亦作此釋。尸棄者此云火。有人言：此梵天王入火光定，頂有火光故言火也。有人言：餘梵天皆為火災所燒，獨此天火災不燒，故云火也。又翻為頂髻。有人言：頂上有火如髻，故云頂髻也。《長阿含》云「尸棄是初禪梵王，亦名鳩摩羅伽，此云童子天。此天顏如童子，故以名焉。手擎鷄持鈴、捉赤幡、騎孔雀也。」

Below “the lord of the sahā world”: second, it next lists the assemblies of the form realm devas. Sahā world translates here as “mixed evil” and also as “mixed gathering.” Regarding “the Great Brahmā King named Śikhin”: some say that the Great Brahmā King is the Brahmā king of the first dhyāna, Śikhin is the Brahmā king of the second dhyāna, Radiance Great Brahmā is the Brahmā king of the third dhyāna, and “and so forth” refers to the fourth dhyāna. This is what [Fayun of] Guangzhai adopted. Others say: the lord of the sahā world is Maheśvara, the Brahmā king of the fourth dhyāna; Śikhin is the Brahmā king of the third dhyāna; Radiance is the Brahmā king of the second dhyāna; and “and so forth” refers to the Brahmā king of the first dhyāna. We now rely on the first fascicle of the Zhìdù lùn, which says: “The Brahmā king who is lord of the sahā world is named Śikhin.” “Lord of the sahā world” cites his location to show that he is the lord; “Great Brahmā King” specifies his status; “Śikhin” indicates his name. The new Suvarṇaprabhāsa also provides this explanation. Śikhin translates here as “fire.” Some say: this Brahmā king enters the fire-radiance samādhi, and having fire-radiance on his crown, he is therefore called “Fire.” Others say: the remaining Brahmā heavens are all burned by the disaster of fire, and only this heaven is not burned by the disaster of fire, hence it is called “Fire.” It is also translated as “topknot” [śikhā]. Some say: upon his crown there is fire like a topknot, hence it is called “Topknot.” The Dīrgha Āgama says: “Śikhin is the Brahmā king of the first dhyāna, also named Kumāraga, which translates here as the Youth Deva. This deva's countenance is like that of a youth, hence he is named after it. He holds a rooster in his hand, grasps a bell, carries a red banner, and rides a peacock.”
