經律異相 1.21

### [1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.1.21)

炎摩（梁言時）天宮。風輪所持在虛空中。王名善時（大智論云妙善）身長二由旬。衣長四由旬廣二由旬。衣重三銖從樹而出。明淨光曜有種種色。身體光明不須日月。身口意善。或以燈燭明珠等施。持戒禪定等業生炎摩天。壽天二千歲少出多減。食飲婚欲猶如忉利天（三法度經云以染著意相抱成欲若不深著不成歡樂耳）初生之形如人間四歲。忉利天光明所不能及（出長阿含經第二十卷又出樓炭經大智論華嚴）。

> The palace of the Yāma (in Liang language: Time) heaven is supported by a wind wheel in empty space. The king is named Suyāma (the \*Da zhidu lun\* says: Miaoshan). His body is two yojanas tall; his garments are four yojanas long and two yojanas wide, weighing three zhu, and they come forth from trees, being bright, pure, radiant, and of various colors. His body has radiance and does not rely on the sun or moon. Through wholesome actions of body, speech, and mind, or through gifts of lamps, candles, bright pearls, and the like, and through deeds such as keeping precepts and dhyāna-concentration, one is born into Yāma heaven. The lifespan of the gods is two thousand celestial years, with few exceeding and many falling short. Their eating, drinking, marriage, and sexual desire are like those in Trāyastriṃśa heaven (the \*San fadu lun\* says that with attached minds they embrace to accomplish sexual desire; if not deeply attached, it does not constitute pleasure). At birth, their form is like that of a four-year-old human. The radiance of Trāyastriṃśa heaven cannot reach here (from fascicle 20 of the \*Dīrghāgama\*, and also from the \*Loutan jing\*, the \*Da zhidu lun\*, and the \*Avataṃsaka\*).
