KLS glossary says: "There are 6 places bearing this name, from the eighth paradise of the gods of the Fourth Concentration [see form realm] up to the absolute Akanishtha, a buddha field beyond anything conceivable."--Sébastien 00:05, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

TUR in Rainbow Painting writes: Akanishtha is of two types: the ultimate Akanishtha, often called the palace of Dharmadhatu, refers to the state of enlightenment of all buddhas. There is also the symbolic Akanishtha, which is the fifth of the Five Pure Abodes and is still within the Realms of Form, located in the sky above Mount Sumeru. The symbolic Akanishtha is the highest among the seventeen worlds in the Realms of Form, situated just below the Formless Realms. --Sébastien 00:25, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
