三彌勒經疏 1.79

1.79

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.
