By dwelling: For hell-beings, hell is the dwelling. For animal-birth beings, animal-birth is the dwelling. For ghost-realm beings, the ghost-realm is the dwelling. For humans, the human world is the dwelling. For devas, the deva world is the dwelling. They speak of unity for him who does not show himself in a dwelling.
