9.14

禪觀轉勝,受生細妙,故云身心妙圓。復具戒德,故云威儀不缺。此結前也。清淨下,正明此天於定戒中發慧明悟,斯則慧解過人,能為梵主統攝梵眾。准《俱舍》說「威德光明獨一而住,無尋唯伺定力所感,下二天具有尋伺。又劫末後去、劫成先來,外道不測便執為常。又因起念見有天生,便執能生世間為一因主。」

Dhyāna contemplation becomes increasingly superior, and rebirth is fine and subtle, hence it is said, "body and mind are wonderfully perfected." Furthermore, being endowed with the virtue of precepts, it is said, "deportment is complete and unfailing." This concludes what precedes. From "pure" downward, it directly clarifies that [the beings of] this heaven bring forth wisdom and luminous awakening within meditative absorption and precepts. Their wisdom and understanding surpass others, enabling them to be Brahmā lords governing the Brahmā retinue. According to the *Kośa*: "Possessing majesty, virtue, and radiance, he dwells alone, incurred by the power of meditative absorption with investigation only and without vitarka, whereas the lower two heavens have both vitarka and vicāra. Furthermore, at the end of an eon he is the last to depart, and at the formation of an eon he is the first to arrive; non-Buddhists, unable to fathom this, cling to him as permanent. Moreover, because giving rise to a thought he saw devas being born, he clung to being the sole causal creator able to give birth to the world."
