四大天王各一主以得名。三十三天以何所而為名？妙高四面各有八天，帝釋居中，故三十三臣主合目。夜摩天名時分，受樂有時分故。都史多天名知足，受樂知足故。餘二，下自釋。

> The Four Great Heavenly Kings are named after each of their rulers. By what are the Thirty-Three Gods named? On each of the four sides of Mount Meru there are eight heavens, and Śakra resides in the center; hence the thirty-three lords and subjects are collectively designated. The Yāma Heaven is named "Time Division" because they enjoy pleasure according to time divisions. The Tuṣita Heaven is named "Contentment" because they are content in their enjoyment of pleasure. The remaining two are explained below.
