2.241

Commentary: This is Śikhin's simile. Prior to revealing the adornment, he presents a simile; from 'I see...' downward, he directly indicates it. The sixth heaven of the desire realm is named Paranirmitavaśavartin; others transform all sensual dust-realms for them, and they attain great sovereignty to enjoy them. Because this is the most sublime, it is borrowed as a simile. Although it is known that the sāsrava is not a simile for the anāsrava, [the text] cites what is near to illustrate what is far, so as to make it easy to understand.
