6. Recollection of the devas: As for recollection of the devas, it refers to the heaven of the Four Heavenly Kings up to the heaven of Mastery over the Transformations of Others. Furthermore, there are four kinds of devas: first, devas by name; second, devas by birth; third, pure devas; fourth, devas pure by birth. Such retributions are pure and benefit and pacify all. This is recollection of the devas.
