23. The Indranīla Jewel is also translated as jewel of Indra, also called cintāmaṇi. According to de Visser (1931), p. 19, translating from the Sanskrit, the cintāmaṇi is the main jewel appearing on Ākāśagarbha’s head: “At that moment the multitude assembled around Śākyamuni saw the brilliant light of Ākāśagarbha’s cintāmaṇi (...) surrounded by numberless Śakrābhilagna (...) pearls, appearing in the West and superseding all other lights except that of Śākyamuni.” See also Tharchin and Lindmayer (2010, p. 51).
