v1.c7.605
When inhabitants of the Ābhassara-world are reborn as humans, their existence continues to be like that which they had in the brahma-world itself. As time goes on, however, they lose their qualities and develop the characteristics, both physical and mental, of human beings.¹¹ Buddhaghosa¹² says that their birth on earth is opapātika (by spontaneous regeneration) and they are mind-born (manomaya).
