大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 29.41

29.41

疏「俱舍云四大洲日月」等者，此文易了，總以喻顯。一小千界如一千錢，一中千界如千貫錢，大千世界如千箇千貫。而但取於初禪為數，已上不說。若舉二禪已上，則不同一成壞，火災所壞唯初禪故。故《正理》三十一云「小光等天非小千界攝。積小千為中千，積中千為大千，亦不攝彼。」疏「長阿含十八」下，二例同餘文。下引二經四論，並同《俱舍》。《俱舍》是十一，《瑜伽》第二，《智論》第十一，《雜集》第六，《顯揚》第一。

Regarding the commentary's "The Kośa says: the four great continents, the sun and moon..." and so forth: this text is easy to understand, universally illustrated by metaphors. A small thousand-world is like a thousand coins, a medium thousand-world is like a thousand strings of coins, and a great thousand-world is like a thousand groups of a thousand strings. But it only takes the First Dhyāna as the count, not speaking of above. If one brought up the Second Dhyāna and above, they would not share the same formation and destruction, because what is destroyed by the fire calamity is only the First Dhyāna. Therefore the Nyāyānusāra, fascicle thirty-one, says: "The heavens such as Minor Light are not subsumed within the small thousand-world. Accumulating small thousand-worlds to make a medium thousand-world, and accumulating medium thousand-worlds to make a great thousand-world, also does not subsume them." Commentary: from "Dīrghāgama eighteen..." onwards, second, analogously equates other texts. Below it cites two sūtras and four treatises, all agreeing with the Kośa. The Kośa is the eleventh [fascicle], Yogācāra is the second, the Treatise [on the Great Perfection of Wisdom] is the eleventh, the Samuccaya is the sixth, and the Prakaraṇāryaśāsana is the first.
