9.112

The heavenly beings of the four formless [heavens] are merely karmic retributions, whereas those four heavenly kings are provisional manifestations. This is because they have entered the Mahāyāna Śūraṅgama samādhi, desiring to sport in the various dhyāna-samādhis of the four dhyānas and four formless [attainments] in order to accomplish Buddha-activities.
