31.26

昔婆羅門姓憍尸迦與知友三十二人共修福德。命終皆生須彌山頂。憍尸迦為天主。三十二人為輔臣(智論)○昔迦葉佛滅後有一女人。發心修塔報為天主。有三十二人助修。報為輔臣。君臣合之為三十三(淨名疏○梵語忉利此翻三十三天)○帝釋住首楞嚴定。未來成佛號曰無著(法華文句)。

Anciently, a brāhmaṇa named Kauśika, together with thirty-two friends, cultivated blessings and merit together. When their lives ended, they were all born on the summit of Mount Sumeru; Kauśika became the lord of the devas, and the thirty-two individuals became his assisting ministers (Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa). Anciently, after the parinirvāṇa of Kāśyapa Buddha, there was a woman who resolved her mind to repair a stūpa and was rewarded by becoming the lord of the devas, with thirty-two individuals assisting her in the repair and being rewarded by becoming assisting ministers; sovereign and ministers together make thirty-three (Vimalakīrti-bhāṣya; the Sanskrit term Daoli is translated here as Thirty-Three Heavens). Śakra dwells in the Śūraṅgama Samādhi, and when he becomes a Buddha in the future, his name will be Asanga (Fahua wenju).
