法苑珠林 5.94

5.94

According to the Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna-sūtra: The first, the asura king Rāhu, has four gem-like maidens born from his thoughts: the first is named Like a Shadow, the second All Fragrances, the third Wondrous Forest, and the fourth Supreme Virtue. Each of these four maidens has twelve nayutas of maidservants as her retinue, all surrounding the asura king to make sport together, indulging their desires and experiencing pleasure beyond full description. The second is named Brave and Mighty, whose power and influence is next in supremacy. The third is named Garland, whose power and influence is even greater. The fourth is named Vemacitrin, whose power and retinue are manifold and even more incalculable. As for the rest of the ministers, concubines, attendants, and servants, they too are beyond description. Thus one knows that the noble and the base differ vastly and cannot be treated alike.
