俱舍論頌疏論本 11.10

11.10

釋曰：前兩行半明九山，次兩句明山體，後一行明山量。論云：「於金輪上有九大山，妙高山王處中而住，餘八周匝遶妙高山。於八山中，前七名內，第七山外有大洲等，此外復有鐵輪圍山，周匝如輪，圍一世界。持雙等七唯金所成，妙高山王四寶為體，謂如次四面北、東、南、西，金、銀、吠瑠璃、頗胝迦寶。隨寶威德，色顯於空，故贍部洲空似吠瑠璃色。問：『如是寶等從何而生？』答：『亦諸有情業增上力。』復大雲起雨金輪上，滴如車軸，積水濤奔，其水即為眾寶種藏。由具種種威德，猛風鑽擊，變生眾寶類等。如是變生金寶等已，復由業力引起別風，簡別寶等攝令聚集，成山成洲，分水甘鹹，令別成立內海外海。如是九山住金輪上，入水量皆等八萬踰繕那，蘇迷盧山出水亦爾，餘八出水半半漸卑，謂初持雙山出水四萬，乃至最後鐵輪圍山出水三百一十二半。如是九山一一廣量，各各自與出水量同。」

The explanation says: The first two lines and a half clarify the nine mountains, the next two lines clarify the substance of the mountains, and the final line clarifies the measurements of the mountains. The treatise says: "Upon the gold-mandala are nine great mountains. Mount Sumeru, the king of mountains, abides in the center, and the remaining eight encircle Mount Sumeru. Among the eight mountains, the first seven are called the inner [mountains]. Outside the seventh mountain are the great continents and so forth. Outside these there is furthermore the iron Cakravāḍa, which encircles the one world like a wheel. The seven, beginning with Yugaṃdhara, are made purely of gold. Mount Sumeru, the king of mountains, has the four jewels as its substance, namely, in sequence on its four faces—north, east, south, and west—gold, silver, vaiḍūrya, and sphaṭika jewels. In accordance with the majestic power of the jewels, their color is displayed in the sky; hence the sky of Jambudvīpa resembles the color of vaiḍūrya. Question: 'From where are such jewels produced?' Answer: 'Also through the predominant power of the karma of sentient beings.' Again, great clouds arise and rain upon the gold-mandala, the drops like chariot axles, the accumulated water surging into waves; this water is precisely the seed-treasury of the various jewels. Churned and struck by fierce winds possessed of various powers, the classes of various jewels are transformed and produced. After the gold and jewels have thus been transformed and produced, another distinct wind is induced by karmic power, which sorts out the jewels and gathers them together, forming the mountains and forming the continents, dividing the water into fresh and salty, causing the inner seas and the outer sea to be established separately. In this way, the nine mountains rest upon the gold-mandala, their submerged measurement being equally eighty thousand yojanas, and Mount Sumeru also emerges from the water by the same amount. The remaining eight emerge from the water becoming gradually lower by half and half, meaning that the first, Mount Yugaṃdhara, emerges from the water by forty thousand, down to the last, the iron Cakravāḍa, which emerges from the water by three hundred twelve and a half. The breadth of each one of these nine mountains is respectively equal to the measurement of its height above water."
