"Humans of Jambudvīpa also ascend these stairs, going up to Trāyastriṃśa to see those devas. The Abhirati world is adorned with such immeasurable merits, reaching upward to the Akaniṣṭha Heaven and downward to the water boundary. Taking it with my right hand like a potter's wheel, I will enter this world holding it like a garland of flowers to display to the entire assembly." / Zhao says: In a pure and adorned land, blessed celebrations gather; the retributional forms of humans and devas differ very little, so they share the same road to go back and forth with the delight of social excursion. Another explanation says: 'Daoli' (Trāyastriṃśa) is translated here as 'Thirty-three'; 'Ajiashuizha' (Akaniṣṭha) is translated here as 'Ultimate Form'.
