चतुनिकाय के देवों के भेद
कामलालसा से परे होते है । उन्हे देवियों के स्पर्श, रूप, शब्द या चिन्तन द्वारा कामसुख भोगने की अपेक्षा नहीं रहती, फिर भी वे नीचे के देवो से अधिक सन्तुष्ट और अधिक सुखो होते है । इसका स्पष्ट कारण यह है कि ज्यों-ज्यों कामवासना प्रबल होती है त्यो-त्यों चित्तसंक्लेश अधिक बढता है तथा ज्यों-ज्यो चित्तसंक्लेश बढता है त्यों-त्यो उसके निवारण के लिए विषयभोग भो अधिकाधिक आवश्यक होता है। दूसरे स्वर्ग तक के देवो की अपेक्षा तीसरे और चौथे स्वर्ग के देवो की, उनकी अपेक्षा पाँचवें-छठे स्वर्ग के देवों की और इस तरह कार-ऊपर के स्वर्गों के देवों की कामवासना मन्द होती जाती है। इसलिए उनका चित्तसंक्लेश भी कम होता जाता है। उनके कामभोग के साधन भी अल्प होते है । बारहवें स्वर्ग से ऊपर के देवो की कामवासना शान्त होती है, अत उन्हे स्पर्श, रूप, शब्द, चिन्तन आदि किसी भी प्रकार के भोग की कामना नहीं होती। वे संतोषजन्य परमसुख मे निमग्न रहते है। यही कारण है कि नीचे-नीचे की अपेक्षा ऊपर-ऊपर के देवों का सुख अधिकाधिक माना गया है । ८-१० ।

The distinctions among the deities of the Chaturnikaya are beyond the desires of pleasure. They do not have the craving for sensual pleasures through the touch, form, sound, or contemplation of goddesses; nonetheless, they are more satisfied and experience greater bliss than the lower deities. The clear reason for this is that as the intensity of sensual desires increases, the mental disturbances also increase, and as the mental disturbances increase, the enjoyment of worldly pleasures becomes increasingly necessary for their alleviation. Compared to the deities of the lower heavens, the deities of the third and fourth heavens experience less craving, and in a similar manner, the deities of the fifth and sixth heavens experience even lesser cravings, leading to a reduction in their mental disturbances as well. Their means of sensual enjoyment are also limited. The deities above the twelfth heaven have their sensual desires calmed, and therefore they have no longing for any kind of enjoyment through touch, form, sound, or contemplation. They remain immersed in the bliss of contentment. This is why the happiness of the upper deities is considered increasingly greater compared to that of the lower deities. 8-10.
