觀彌勒上生兜率天經贊 2.71

2.71

The commentary says: The fourth major section, on the fulfillment of vows, concerns the great deity creating the pillars. Here there are four points: 1. at each of the four corners of the palace there is a pillar; 2. each of the jeweled pillars has jeweled multi-storied pavilions, and 'Brahmā-maṇi' refers to pure maṇi or the cintāmaṇi of the Great Brahmā King, these pillars all being interlaced with Brahmā cintāmaṇis; 3. the heavenly maidens within the pavilions hold musical instruments in their hands; 4. the musical sounds expound the Dharma. Inwardly cultivating the four applications of mindfulness, the mind abides unmoving; outwardly this evokes the various adornments of the four pillars.
