俱舍論頌疏論本 18.73

18.73

Explanation: 'Heaven and earth' means above in heaven and below on earth. 'This realm' means this trichiliocosm. Vaiśravaṇa's palace is translated as 'the chamber of much hearing,' because his renown for faith and respect fills the ten directions. 'The palace of Brahmā' is the palace of the king Mahābrahmā; tīrthikas grasp it as permanent, so the Buddha, to refute them, called it the 'passing palace.' 'Heavenly abodes' are the various other heavenly places. Not only is there none resembling the Buddha in the palace of Brahmā and so forth, but in the worlds of the ten directions there is also none resembling the Buddha. Searching the earth, searching the mountains, searching the forests, everywhere there is none equal to the Buddha. Having offered this praise, he bypassed nine eons; at this point his practice of the vigor pāramitā was brought to completion.
