俱舍論疏 27.22

27.22

論「有說前六至成那羅延」，述異說。《正理論》云「有餘師說：此量如千藹羅伐拏天象王力。此象王力其量云何？三十三天將遊戲苑，象王知已化作諸頭，種種莊嚴往天宮所。諸天眷屬數有多千，乘已騰空如持樺葉，速至戲苑隨意歡娛。天大象王力勢如是，此力千倍等那羅延（已上論文）。」

On the Śāstra's statement, "Some say the preceding six [...] make up a Nārāyaṇa": this recounts a different view. The Nyāyānusāra states: "Other masters say: this measure is equal to the strength of a thousand of the heavenly elephant-king Airāvaṇa. What is the measure of the strength of this elephant-king? When the Trāyastriṃśa devas are about to sport in the pleasure parks, the elephant-king, knowing this, manifests many heads with various adornments and goes to the celestial palaces. The celestial retinues number many thousands; having mounted him, they soar into space as easily as holding birch leaves, quickly arriving at the pleasure parks to enjoy themselves at will. The might and strength of the great heavenly elephant-king are like this; a thousand times this strength equals that of Nārāyaṇa" (this concludes the text of the treatise).
