經曰「作是願已」者,辨願遂。則有十重:一宮、二園、三寶、四光、五華、六樹、七色、八金、九天女、十音樂。謂凡夫生彼天,十八善根故。今此菩薩十力增上所現故,宮有十重莊事也。法輪之行者,所詮義也。輪者,能詮教也。頗梨色者紅赤,其一切寶色皆此所含也。婉轉垣牆六十二由旬者,為治六十二見故。十四由旬者,為治十四不可記事故。由旬者訛,今云踰繕那,此云合。謂藏論云「五百弓為一俱盧舍,俱盧舍八為一踰繕那」也。言五百億龍王者,內顯五力,伏四魔故。
The sūtra says: "Having made this vow…" explains the fulfillment of the vow. There are ten tiers: first, palaces; second, gardens; third, jewels; fourth, lights; fifth, flowers; sixth, trees; seventh, colors; eighth, gold; ninth, devakanyās; and tenth, music. For an ordinary person born in that heaven, it is due to eighteen roots of virtue. Now, because this is manifested by the Bodhisattva's mastery of the ten powers, the palace has ten tiers of adorned features. The "movement of the wheel of Dharma" is the meaning expressed. The "wheel" is the teaching that expresses it. "Crystal-colored" means reddish; all jewel colors are contained within this. "Meandering walls of sixty-two yojanas" is to cure the sixty-two views. "Fourteen yojanas" is to cure the fourteen unanswerable questions. "Yojanas" is an erroneous transcription; currently it is called *yojana*, translated here as "yoked/joined." The *Abhidharmakośaśāstra* says: "Five hundred bows make one krośa, and eight krośas make one yojana." The "five hundred billion dragon kings" internally manifest the five powers to subdue the four māras.
