大般涅槃經疏 2.14

2.14

次、二十恒鳥王。增數至千億恒沙，鬼神至白濕王，但略列數語類，出名而已。其中或有歎德，皆可解。是為增數。前二十一眾意。從復有十萬億恒河沙天子風神雨神，是三眾同數。復有二十恒沙象王至二十恒沙仙人凡，五眾同數。同數文竟。閻浮提中一切螽王者，是無數眾。

Next, the twenty Ganges sands of bird kings. The increasing numbers go up to thousands of kotis of Ganges sands, and from ghosts and spirits up to the White-Moist King, it merely briefly lists numbers, speaks of categories, and gives their names. Among them, some have praises of virtues, all of which can be understood. This constitutes the increasing numbers. Such was the meaning of the preceding twenty-one assemblies. From "furthermore, there were a hundred thousand koṭis of Ganges sands of devaputras, wind gods, and rain gods", these are three assemblies of identical number. Furthermore, from twenty Ganges sands of elephant kings to twenty Ganges sands of ṛṣis, altogether five assemblies have identical numbers. The text of identical numbers is finished. "All the locust kings in Jambudvīpa" is the assembly without number.
