Explanation in English from 膧c膩rya P奴jyap膩da鈥檚 Sarv膩rthasiddhi:
The next 蝉奴迟谤补 describes the differences in the characteristics of the 惫补颈尘腻苍颈办补 deva.
Owing to the fruition of the life-karma (腻测耻岣补谤尘补) acquired, the soul鈥檚 association with the body in a particular birth is called the lifetime (腻测耻岣�). Capacity to inflict pain or confer benefits to others is the influence (辫谤补产丑腻惫补). Enjoyment of sensuous pleasures is happiness (sukha). The splendour of the body, the dress and the ornaments constitute brilliance (dyuti). The thought-colouration (濒别艣测腻) has already been explained (see explanation to 蝉奴迟谤补 1-8, p. 18). The purity of thought-colouration is 濒别艣测腻惫颈艣耻诲诲丑颈. The capacity and scope of the senses is 颈苍诲谤颈测补惫颈峁测补 and the capacity and scope of the clairvoyance is 补惫补诲丑颈惫颈峁测补. The 惫补颈尘腻苍颈办补 deva higher and higher up are superior in regard to all these ascpects.
