2.81

「無雲減三」者,無量光天四踰繕那,極光淨天八,少淨十六,無量淨三十二,遍淨六十四,無雲一百二十五,以減三故,如是倍倍增,乃至色究竟天身長萬六千踰繕那。業不同故,身量有殊,不可徵詰。不說無間身量遍處,故知小也。非天亦然。不同餘宗,大地獄唯在此下。餘三有獨一及近邊,業勝故說造惡業來入此地獄中。

Regarding "Anabhraka decreases by three": Apramāṇābha Heaven is four yojanas; Ābhāsvara Heaven is eight; Parīttaśubha is sixteen; Apramāṇaśubha is thirty-two; Śubhakṛtsna is sixty-four; Anabhraka is one hundred and twenty-five, because it decreases by three; in this way it doubles and doubles progressively, up to Akaniṣṭha Heaven where the body length is sixteen thousand yojanas. Because karma differs, bodily stature has differences, which cannot be cross-examined. Since it is not said that the body of the Avīci [beings] pervades the place, we know it is small. The asuras are also like this. Unlike other schools, the great hells exist only below this [continent]. In the other three [continents] there are solitary and peripheral [hells]; because of the preponderance of karma, it is said that those who commit evil deeds come to enter this hell.
