For Parīttābha and above, the full eighty intermediate kalpas constitute a kalpa; among the four kalpas, the great \[kalpa\] is taken as the kalpa. From there downward, for the various heavens, half of the great \[kalpa\] constitutes a kalpa, which among the four kalpas equals the time of the destruction kalpa; thus these forty intermediate kalpas constitute one kalpa. Therefore it is said that the Great Brahmā King exceeds the Brahmapurohita heaven's lifespan by one and a half kalpas. That is, the Great Brahmā King takes twenty intermediate kalpas each of formation, abiding, and destruction, totaling sixty intermediate kalpas as one and a half kalpas; hence half of the great \[kalpa\]—forty intermediate kalpas—is taken as the lifespan kalpa measure of the lower three heavens. Question: As for the Great Brahmā King compared with the Parīttābha heaven, his body measure is narrower by only half a yojana; why are their lifespans drastically different? Explanation: The two measures of body and lifespan cannot both be completely uniform. In order to conform to the fire calamity, the Great Brahmā King does not receive a great kalpa; in order to conform to the water and wind calamities, from Parīttābha upward the full great \[kalpa\] constitutes a kalpa, gradually doubling and redoubling. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.113](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.11.113) - [Next: 11.115](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.11.115) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821~en-mt.11.114) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (4) - [俱舍論頌疏論本](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.76) — Classical Chinese - [阿毘達磨順正理論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!nyayanusara*zh-xuanzang.31.44) — Classical Chinese - [阿毘達磨俱舍論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!bhasya*zh-xuanzang.11.46) — Classical Chinese - [阿毘達磨藏顯宗論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.abhidharma.abhidharmakosa!abhidharmakosasastrakarikabhasya*zh-xuanzang.17.8) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.11.114](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.11.114) · Pramāṇa
