俱舍論記 11.87

11.87

「隨彼諸天至同中印度」者，此即第二明諸天初生。且六欲天初生如次，四天王天如五歲，三十三天如六歲，夜摩天如七歲，覩史多天如八歲，樂變化天如九歲，他化自在天如十歲，生已身形速得成滿。色界天眾於初生時，身量周圓，具妙衣服。如梵眾天初生半踰繕那，乃至色究竟天初生萬六千踰繕那。二界諸天皆作聖言，聖言謂中印度語。印度，此云月支。月有千名，斯其一矣。舊云天竺、或云賢豆、或云身毒，訛也。又《正理》云「謂彼言詞同中印度，然不由學，自解典言。」

"According to those respective devas... identical to Central India": this is the second, explaining the initial birth of the devas. First, the initial births in the six desire heavens are in order: the Cāturmahārājakāyika devas are like five-year-olds; the Trāyastriṃśa devas are like six-year-olds; the Yāma devas are like seven-year-olds; the Tuṣita devas are like eight-year-olds; the Nirmāṇarati devas are like nine-year-olds; the Paranirmitavaśavartin devas are like ten-year-olds; and having been born, their physical forms quickly reach completion. The heavenly beings of the form realm, at the time of initial birth, are complete in bodily size and equipped with wonderful garments. For instance, the Brahmakāyika devas at initial birth measure half a yojana, up to the Akaniṣṭha devas at initial birth measuring sixteen thousand yojanas. The devas of both realms all speak the noble language; the noble language refers to the language of Central India. India is translated here as Moon Branch. The moon has a thousand names, and this is one of them. The old translations rendered it as Tianzhu, or Xiandou, or Shendu, which are corruptions. Furthermore, the *Nyāyānusāra* says: "Their speech is identical to that of Central India; yet without learning, they naturally understand the classical language."
