1.821

按提婆菩薩釋外道小乘《涅槃論》云：摩醯首羅論師作如是說，果是那羅延所作，梵天是因。摩醯首羅一體三分，所謂梵天、那羅延、摩醯首羅。地是依處，地主是摩醯首羅。於三界中所有一切命、非命物，皆是摩醯首羅天生。摩醯首羅身者，虛空是頭，大地是身，水是尿，山是糞，一切眾生是腹中虫，風是氣，火是煖，罪福是業，是八種是摩醯首羅身。自在天是生滅因，一切從自在天生，從自在天滅，名為涅槃；故自在天常，一切物涅槃因。又傳釋云：彼宗自在有三身別，謂法、報、化。彼說報身居色天上，不來下生，狀似世尊受用身也。其變化身隨形六道教化眾生，然說多住雪山北面，或在南海未剌耶山頂，法身即此論所敘是。

According to Bodhisattva Deva's Commentary on the Nirvāṇa of Heterodox and Hīnayāna Schools (Baitilun / Nirvāṇaśāstra): The Maheśvara master speaks thus: "The fruit is made by Nārāyaṇa, and Brahmā is the cause. Maheśvara is one substance with three parts, namely Brahmā, Nārāyaṇa, and Maheśvara. The earth is the support, and the lord of the earth is Maheśvara. All sentient and non-sentient things in the three realms are produced by the god Maheśvara. As for Maheśvara's body: space is his head, the great earth is his body, water is his urine, mountains are his feces, all sentient beings are worms in his belly, wind is his breath, fire is his warmth, and demerit and merit are his karma. These eight kinds are Maheśvara's body. The Lord (Īśvara) is the cause of arising and ceasing; all things arise from the Lord and cease into the Lord, which is called nirvāṇa; therefore the Lord is eternal, the cause of nirvāṇa for all things." Furthermore, a transmission explains: That school's Īśvara has three distinct bodies, namely the dharma, reward, and transformation bodies. They say the reward body resides in the form realm heavens and does not come down to be born, resembling the World-Honoured One's saṃbhogakāya. His transformation body follows the forms of the six destinies to teach and convert sentient beings, yet is said mostly to dwell on the north side of the Snow Mountains (Himālaya) or atop Mount Malaya in the southern sea; the dharmakāya is what is described in this treatise.
