4.114

十八、示在梵天。「十八梵天」者,初二三禪各三天,四禪九天,悉離欲染,通得名梵。「誨以勝慧」者,荊溪云:如禪觀支,是慧非勝,梵亦曾得,不以為尊,故示出世四種勝慧淨禪觀等及無垢禪,通明特勝,帶根本修而無所著。

Eighteenth, manifesting in the Brahma heavens. 'The eighteen Brahma heavens': the first, second, and third dhyānas have three heavens each, and the fourth dhyāna has nine heavens; all are free from the defilement of desire, and are collectively designated 'Brahma.' 'Admonishing them with superior wisdom': Jingxi states: 'As for the factors of dhyāna contemplation, they are wisdom but not superior; Brahma [beings] have also previously attained them and do not hold them in high esteem. Therefore, he manifests the four kinds of world-transcending superior wisdom, pure dhyāna contemplation, and the immaculate dhyāna, which are comprehensively luminous and exceptionally superior, cultivating them upon the foundational [dhyānas] without being attached.'
