One should know the measure of the kalpas as explained above. From Parīttābha upward, a full great \[kalpa\] counts as a kalpa—eighty intermediate kalpas constitute one kalpa. For the gods below this, half a great \[kalpa\] counts as a kalpa—forty intermediate kalpas constitute one kalpa. By this reasoning, the sūtra states that Mahābrahmā exceeds the lifespan of the Brahmapurohita gods by one and a half kalpas: taking the twenty intermediate kalpas of each of formation, duration, and destruction, these sixty intermediate kalpas constitute one and a half kalpas; thus, half a great \[kalpa\] of forty intermediate kalpas is the kalpa measure of life for the lower three heavens. 'The three heavens' refers to the Brahmakāyika, Brahmapurohita, and Mahābrahmā heavens. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.75) - [Next: 11.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.77) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.11.76) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [俱舍論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.11.114) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.11.76) · Pramāṇa
