2.29

From "Furthermore, in this three-thousandfold… to the Iron Ring Mountains": second, displaying the ten mountains, which probably symbolizes the realm of sentient beings. From "the oceans… to the springs and fountains": third, displaying the oceans and rivers, which probably symbolizes the realm of the five aggregates. From "and the sun and moon… within the jeweled canopy": fourth, displaying the sun, moon, and heavenly palaces, which perhaps symbolizes the realm of the physical environment. These four realms appearing within the canopy are the dependent retribution realms upon which the five aggregates of sentient beings rely.
