Visuddhimagga VII-120

Yañca devatānussatiyaṃ devatā ārabbhāti vuttaṃ, taṃ pubbabhāge devatā ārabbha pavattacittavasena devatāguṇasadise vā devatābhāvanipphādake guṇe ārabbha pavattacittavasena vuttanti veditabbaṃ.

在天随念中,说他的「心缘诸天」,即是说他先以心缘诸天,或者以心缘于得生诸天而与诸天同等的自己的德。

Ñ(VII,120): And when in the case of the recollection of deities inspired by deities is said, this should be understood as said either of the consciousness that occurs in the prior stage inspired by deities or of the consciousness [that occurs in the later stage] inspired by the special qualities that are similar to those of the deities and are productive of the deities' state (cf. §117).
