Answer: As stated in the Śāriputrābhidharma-śāstra, the desire realm fully contains fourteen states of existence, the form realm has seven, and the formless realm has four; taken together across the tridhātu, there are therefore twenty-five. The fourteen of the desire realm are: the four bad destinies, which make four; taking the humans of the four continents makes another four, which added to the previous makes eight; further taking the various devas of the six desires makes six, which added to the previous makes fourteen states of existence. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 70.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.70.48) - [Next: 70.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.70.50) - [Up: 70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.70) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.70.49) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.70.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.70.49) · Pramāṇa
