「三十三天增一足」者，足謂分也。分一俱盧舍為四分，四分之中，一分復分為四分，增此一分，故言一足。下言增一足者，其義亦然。顯知足天半俱盧舍餘一分，樂化天餘二分，他化天身餘三分。　或有釋言：一足者，即俱盧舍分為四分，一分之中復分為二，足此二中之一分，故言一足。即顯知足天身半俱盧舍餘半分，樂化天身一俱盧舍中三分，他化天身三分餘半，減一俱盧舍也。《俱舍》不同，彼云：欲天俱盧舍，四分一一增，乃至他化天，一俱盧舍半。餘皆同此。　問：若依《俱舍》，梵王壽一切半，量一踰繕那半。大乘既以六十劫為一劫，何故梵王不說一踰繕那半為一耶？答：劫是時名，隨法即施；踰繕那是分量，不可輒說。

> Regarding "the Trāyastriṃśa devas increase by one foot (pāda)": "foot" means a fraction. One krośa is divided into four parts; within one part it is further divided into four parts, and it increases by this one part, hence it says "one foot". Where it says below "increases by one foot", its meaning is also the same. This shows that the devas of Tuṣita have half a krośa plus one fraction; the devas of Nirmāṇarati have \[half a krośa\] plus two fractions; the devas of Paranirmitavaśavartin have bodies with \[half a krośa\] plus three fractions. Alternatively, someone explains: "one foot" means that a krośa is divided into four parts, and within one part it is further divided into two; it adds one fraction of these two, hence it says "one foot". That is, it shows that the bodily size of the devas of Tuṣita is half a krośa plus half a fraction; the bodily size of the devas of Nirmāṇarati is three fractions of a krośa; the bodily size of the devas of Paranirmitavaśavartin is three fractions and a half, which is one krośa minus \[half a fraction\]. The Kośa differs, stating: "For the desire-realm devas, each increases by one-fourth of a krośa, up to Paranirmitavaśavartin, which is one and a half krośas." The rest are all the same as this. Question: If based on the Kośa, the lifespan of the Brahmā king is one and a half \[kalpas\], and his stature is one and a half yojanas. Since the Mahāyāna takes sixty kalpas as one kalpa, why is the Brahmā king's stature not said to be one yojana and a half as one \[measure\]? Answer: A kalpa is a name for time, posited according to phenomena; a yojana is a measure of spatial extent, and cannot be spoken of arbitrarily.
