Deva [Vedic deva, Indo-Germanic °dei°ā to shine (see dibba and diva), original adjective °dei°os belonging to the sky, cf. Avesta daevo (demon.), Latin deus, Lithuanian de°~vas; Old High German /hedZ;īo; Anglo-Saxon Tīg, genitive Tīwes (= Tuesday); Old-Irish dia (god). The popular etymology refers it to the root div in the sense of playing, sporting or amuse oneself: dibbanti ti devā, pañcahi kāmaguṇehi kīḷanti attano vā siriyā jotantī ti attho Pj I 123] a god, a divine being; usually in plural devā the gods. As title attributed to any superhuman being or beings regarded to be in certain respects above the human level. Thus primarily (see 1a) used of the first of the next-world devas, Sakka, then also of subordinate deities, demons and spirits (devaññatarā some kind of deity; snake-demons: nāgas, tree-gods: rukkhadevatā etc.). Also title of the king (3). Always implying splendour (cf. above etymology) and mobility, beauty, goodness and light, and as such opposed to the dark powers of mischief and destruction (asurā: Titans; petā: miserable ghosts; nerayikā sattā: beings in Niraya). A double position (dark and light) is occupied by Yama, the god of the Dead (see Yama and below 1 c). Always implying also a kinship and continuity of life with humanity and other beings; all devas have been man and may again become men (cf. D I 17 f.; S III 85), hence "gods" is not a coincident term. All devas are themselves in saṃsāra, needing salvation. Many are found worshipping saints (Thag.627-629; Thig 365). — The collective appellations differ; there are various groups of divine beings, which in their totality (cf. tāvatiṃsa) include some or most of the well-known Vedic deities. Thus some collective designations are devā sa-indakā (the gods, including Indra or with their ruler at their head: D II 208; S III 90, A V 325), sa-pajāpatikā (S III 90), sa-mārakā (see deva-manussaloka), sa-brahmakā (S III 90). See below 1 b. Lists of popular gods are to be found, e.g. at D II 253; III 194. — A current distinction dating from the latest books in the canon is that into 3 classes, viz. sammuti-devā (conventional gods, gods in the public opinion, i.e. kings and princes Ja I 132; Sv I 174), visuddhi° (beings divine by purity, i.e. of great religious merit or attainment like Arahants and Buddhas), and upapatti° (being born divine, i.e. in a heavenly state as one of the gatis, like bhumma-devā etc.). This division in detail at Nidd II §307; Vibh 422; Pj I 123; Vv-a 18. Under the 3rd category (upapatti°) seven groups are enumerated in the following order: Cātummahārājikā devā, Tāvatiṃsā d. (with Sakka as chief), Yāmā d., Tusitā d., Nimmānaratī d., {298} Paranimmita-vasavattī d., Brahmakāyikā d. Thus at D I 216 f.; A I 210, 332 f.; Nidd II §307; cf. S I 133 and Ja I 48.

deva ( Skt. ), often also devaputra (rare in Skt. , common in Pali devaputta), god . More or less complete and corresponding lists of the classes of Buddhist gods are given in Pali in MN iii.100 ff. ; Kvu 207, 208 ; Abhidh-s. (here called Abh ) 21 ; Childers ( Ch ) 467 has a list nearly agreeing with the last; in BHS , in Mvy 3075 ff. ; Dharmas 127 ff. ; Mv (1) ii.314.4 ff. ; (2) 348.16 ff. ; LV 150.2 ff. ; Av i.5.1 ff. ( et alibi ); Divy (1) 68.12 ff. ; (2) 138.19 ff. ; (3) 367.9 ff. ; (4) 568.24 ff. ; Bbh 61.27 ff. ; Gv 249.10 ff. (the last in reverse order). There are other lists, mostly fragmentary, and often so confused as to be hardly usable. The gods fall into three grand divisions: kāmāvacara , living in the kāmadhātu ( cf. Mvy 3071—4 ), usually six in number; rūpāvacara , in the rūpadhātu; ārūpyāvacara , in the ārūpyadhātu . Cf. also the 9 sattvāvāsa , Mvy 2288 ff. ( Pali DN 3.263 ). — Kāmāvacara (deva). The standard list is: cāturmahārājika ( BHS sometimes cat°); often °rājakāyika , so in Mvy , Dharmas , Divy 2 , Bbh ; trāyastriṃśa ( Av , Divy , Bbh , trayas° ); yāma ( Bbh yama); tuṣita (in Dharmas before yāma); nirmāṇarati (see also nirmita ); paranirmitavaśavartin . The Gv list omits 1 and 2. Before 1, Mvy inserts bhauma and āntarikṣavāsin , making 8 instead of 6. So Mv 2 prefixes bhūmyāṃ (see s.v. bhūmi ) va carā (devāḥ; so read with mss. ; va = eva) and antarīkṣecarā (ḥ). While no other of the above lists has these two items, bhauma and antarīkṣa (or antarikṣa ; adjective) devas are associated with shorter lists (generally of kāmāvacara, or some of them, alone) in LV 266.1 ; 367.7 and 368.3 ; 396.14 ; 401.1 ; and correspondingly bhūmya and antarīkṣecara (deva) in Mv i.40.14 ; 229.14, 15 ; 240.3, 4 ; ii.138.12 and elsewhere. — Rūpāvacara (deva) dwell in the rūpadhātu ( Mvy 3073 ), divided into the four dhyāna- bhūmi ( Mvy 3084 ff. , see dhyāna ), the last of which includes, as its final and highest group, the śuddhāvāsakāyika gods, in five sub-groups. These being counted separately, the standard list of rūpāvacara contains usually 18 items in BHS , 16 in Pali , as follows. First dhyāna-bhūmi, usually 4 items, in Pali 3: brahmakāyika (not in Pali lists, but the word occurs, acc. to Childers as an inclusive term for the classes of the first dhyāna-bhūmi; perhaps rather for all the rūpāvacara, or for them plus the arūpāvacara, since they all inhabit brahmalokas, Childers s.v. ; in Gv also omitted; in Mv put second, brahmā (devā) being first in Mv 1 , and mahābrahmā in Mv 2 ); brahmapāriṣadya ( Dharmas , LV , Divy 4 °pārṣadya , Gv °pārṣada ; om. Mv 1 , Divy 1—3 , Av , Bbh ; after brahmapurohita in Dharmas , LV , Mv 2 , Divy 4 ; our order is that of Mvy , [Page270-b] Gv , Pali ); brahmapurohita ( Gv omits brahma by haplography), mahābrahman (or °hma; as no. 1 in Mv 2 ). Second dhyāna-bhūmi, regularly 3 items in BHS and Pali ; but Mv 1 and 2 and Pali MN iii.102.25 prefix another, ābhā(ḥ) (misprinted abhā in MN ) devā(ḥ): parīttābha ( Divy 1—3 mss. parītā° ; Mv 1 omits); apramāṇābha ( Mv 1 omits); ābhāsvara ( Divy 3 apramāṇābhāsvara ). Third dhyāna-bhūmi, regularly 3 items in BHS and Pali ; Mv and Pali MN iii.102.30 add another, śubhā devāḥ ( Pali subhā devā): parīttaśubha ( Mv 2 omits); apramāṇaśubha ( Dharmas omits), śubhakṛtsna . Fourth dhyāna-bhūmi, usually three items in BHS , one in Pali , plus (sometimes app. included in the 4th dhy. bh. but sometimes not, cf. Childers s.v. jhānaṃ) the five śuddhāvāsa(kāyika), who are usually not given this separate group-designation in the lists (but are so designated e.g. in Mvy 3101 and Abh ): anabhraka ( Pali and Mv omit); puṇyaprasava ( Pali and Mv omit); vṛhatphala (so only Mvy and Mv 2 in BHS , others bṛh° , but Pali vehapphala); only in Dharmas , LV , and Abh of Pali there follows asaṃjñisattva , Pali ( Abh ) asaññasatta, a term which occurs as the 5th sattāvāsa in the Pali list of these DN iii.263.9 ff. (preceding the arūpadhātu), while in the corresponding list of 9 sattvāvāsa in Mvy ( 2297 ) it is made the 9th and highest, above the arūpadhātu (an obvious error of Mvy ); this item is also given in Childers ʼs list and is needed to make up the traditional Pali number of 16 rūpa-brahmaloka. Then all lists have the five śuddhāvāsakāyika: avṛha ( Av , Divy 1—3 , Bbh abṛha , Gv abṛhat ); atapa ( Gv atapo, as s-stem); sudṛśa ( Mv 1 omits); sudarśana ( Mv 2 omits; Divy 1 sudarśa ); akaniṣṭha (for the Pali forms see these words). Here Mvy alone adds as additional stages of śuddhāvāsakāyika, aghaniṣṭha and mahāmaheśvarāyatanam (see these words). —The ārūpyāvacara gods dwell in the four ārūpyadhātu bhūmi listed (only in Mvy and Dharmas , and in Pali MN , Abh. and Childers ) as ākāśānantyāyatana, vijñānānantyāyatana, ākiṃcanyāyatana , and naivasaṃjñānāsaṃjñāyatana ; the gods dwelling in them are described in Dharmas as °āyatanopagāḥ (see s.v. upaga ; similarly Pali °āyatanūpagā). In Suv 86.11 ff. , curiously, the first three ‘stages’, ending °āyatana, are personified as gods (°āyatanānāṃ koṭiśataṃ), while only with the last °āyatanopagatānāṃ (for °nopagānāṃ) is used. The first of the four is found in the Pali Kvu list also. For the Pali forms of the names see s.vv.
