1.33

The palace of the Brahmakāyika heaven. The palace is pure gold, and their bodies are the color of white silver (this is so for all the rūpadhātu). They wear golden garments. They practice dhyāna, abandon desire, and cultivate the fire-radiance samādhi; therefore, wonderful light emanates from their bodies, surpassing the sun and moon. They are neither male nor female. They take the joy of dhyāna as their food. Their lifespan is one kalpa, though some live less. Their bodies are half a yojana tall, and their lifespan is half a kalpa (from the twentieth fascicle of the Dīrgha Āgama).
