Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
Englishsattvāvāsa, m. (= Pali sattāvāsa), abode of beings. Nine such are listed Mvy 〔2288—97〕 and in Pali DN 〔iii.263.9 ff.〕
in both lists an example only (not an exhaustive enumeration) is cited under each ‘abode’. The first includes all men and lower beings, and the kāmāvacara gods
the 2d, 3d, and 4th are the gods of the 1st, 2d, and 3d dhyānabhūmi (of the rūpāvacara gods)
then in Mvy come as Nos. 5—8 incl. the 4 classes of arūpāvacara gods, and finally as an example of 〔No. 9〕 the asaṃjñisattva (q.v.) gods
but this arrangement is certainly erroneous
DN 〔iii.263.19〕 correctly puts the asaññasatta gods (who belong to the 4th dhyānabhūmi of rūpāvacara) in the 5th satt(v)āvāsa (the śuddhāvāsakāyika doubtless belong here too), while the four arūpāvacara classes constitute the 6th to 9th incl. In Mvy the first four are characterized respectively as nānātvakāyā nānātvasaṃjñinaḥ, nānātvakāyā ekatvasaṃjñinaḥ, ekatvakāyā nānātvasaṃjñinaḥ, ekatvakāyā ekatvasaṃjñinaḥ. Cf. AbhidhK. LaV-P. 〔iii.22, n. 4〕.
