On such a basis, there are immeasurable palaces, equivalent to eight times the summit of Mount Sumeru. Thus, in each palace, there are sons and daughters of gods who enjoy pleasures at will, manifesting as many as sixty-six hundred thousand kotis. The immeasurable enjoyments that appear are merely the enjoyment of manifestations, and there is nothing else besides. In terms of suffering, the thought of falling is remembered only once every thousand years, and there is no other thought besides. There is no need for food and clothing; the manifestation of producing sons and daughters, food, and joy is natural, and light naturally becomes clothing. Because everything seen is nectar, all food and drink are certainly obtained at the same time. That which is called "Delighting in Emanation" is the extreme joy in the various differences of others' emanations. The body of the Paranirmita-vasavartin is three hundred and twenty cubits, and the light is two cubits. The lifespan can reach a hundred billion years. That which is called "Abiding in Supreme Bliss" is without coarse afflictions. On the ground spread with sand of precious ornaments, which has a gentle and smooth luster, there are immeasurable palaces, equivalent to sixteen times the summit of Mount Sumeru, which produce ninety-nine thousand five hundred and five different kinds of divine music. Enjoyment is the ability to freely enjoy the emanations of others. The suffering of falling is the same as above. After this, there is no longer a need for actual food and clothing. What is seen is a gentle and smooth bathing pond, and the appearance of various divine music. Paranirmita is, because one can emanate the various actions emanated by others, therefore it is called Paranirmita-vasavartin. The reason for assigning these to the desire realm is that, because one actually engages in desire with the two (male and female), it is called the desire realm. The seventeen abodes of the form realm are: the difference between this and the desire realm is that this realm does not have an actual body, but exists in a body of luminous awareness, and desire is satisfied merely by looking, and birth is also by emanation. Similarly, there are differences in enjoyments and so on. Their names are Brahma, Brahmaparisadya, Brahmapurohita, Parittabha, Apramanabha, Abhasvara, Parittasubha, Subhakrtsna, Apramanasubha, Anabhraka, Punyaprasava, Brhatphala, Avrha, Atapa, Sudrsa, Sudarsana, and Akanistha gods. Among them, the body of Brahma is six cubits.
