今則不然，月自欹側餘而自映故見其虧，亦有天神菩薩并非天手障以為日蝕。言魚鱉等影現月輪者，餘經說言，有贍部樹影現，三藏引本性經云：昔三獸共行仁義時，天帝釋欲試真偽，兔拾薪燒火殺身供帝，帝怪至誠骸安月輪，望世取揩。天地經云：安養國寶應聲菩薩作日城，寶吉祥菩薩作月城（云云）。俱盧舍者，即五百弓量，依梁朝尺丈量，一弓長八尺，五百弓長四百丈。靜息王者，此有二類，一、大菩薩作，二、實有情鬼趣所攝，有云：此文既說：由感雜染增上業故，生那落迦中，故知地獄趣攝。餘宗說：在五百由旬鬼國之中，靜息義如決擇。那落迦卒，猶如化生者，顯宗論云：無間大熱及炎熱三，於中皆無獄卒防守，大叫啼叫及眾合三，少有獄卒，琰魔王使時時往來巡檢彼故，其餘皆為獄卒防守，有情無情異類獄卒防守治罰罪有情故，火不能燒。俱胝者，俱舍五十二數中第八數名俱胝，謂一十百千萬洛叉度洛叉俱胝，以十相乘洛叉當一億，度洛叉當十億，俱胝當百億，然西方有四種億，一十萬為億，二百萬為億，三千萬為億，四萬萬為億。

Now it is not so: the moon itself tilts, and because its other parts project their own shadow, it is seen as waning; there are also devas, bodhisattvas, and the hands of asuras that obstruct it, causing a solar eclipse. Regarding the claim that the shadows of fish, turtles, and so forth appear in the lunar disc: other sūtras state that the shadow of the jambu tree appears; the Tripiṭaka Master cites the Benxing jing: In the past, when three animals practiced benevolence and righteousness together, Śakra, king of the devas, wished to test their genuineness; the rabbit gathered firewood, lit a fire, and sacrificed its own body to offer to Śakra; Śakra, amazed by its utmost sincerity, placed its remains in the lunar disc, to serve as an exemplar for the world. The Tiandi jing says: In the Land of Peaceful Nurture, the Bodhisattva Precious Sound of Response forms the solar city, and the Bodhisattva Precious Auspiciousness forms the lunar city (and so forth). A krośa is the measure of five hundred bows; measuring according to the chi and zhang of the Liang dynasty, one bow is eight chi in length, and five hundred bows are four hundred zhang in length. The "pacifying king": there are two kinds: first, manifested by great bodhisattvas; second, actual sentient beings included in the ghost realm. Some say: Since this text states that due to experiencing defiled, predominant karma they are born into hell, it is known that they are included in the hell realm. Other traditions say: They reside in the ghost domain five hundred yojanas [down]; the meaning of pacification is as [explained in the] Viniścaya. That "the hell wardens are like the miraculously born": the Xianzong lun says: In the three [hells of] Avīci, Great Heat, and Scorching Heat, there are no wardens guarding them; in the three of Great Wailing, Wailing, and Crushing, there are few wardens, because the messengers of King Yama visit and inspect them from time to time; the remaining hells are all guarded by wardens, because sentience and non-sentience are different types of wardens that guard and punish sinful sentient beings, and fire cannot burn them. Regarding a koṭi (jùzhī): among the fifty-two numbers in the Abhidharmakośa, the eighth number is named koṭi, namely: one, ten, hundred, thousand, myriad, lakṣa, dvilakṣa, koṭi; multiplying by ten, a lakṣa corresponds to one hundred thousand (or a hundred million in the Chinese notation), dvilakṣa to one thousand million, and koṭi to ten thousand million. However, the Western regions have four kinds of 'yì': one hundred thousand is an yì; two million is an yì; ten million is an yì; and one hundred million is an yì.
