Calming and serenely seated on the wondrous bodhi seat, he naturally destroys all the hordes of Māra, and due to his great power he breaks the four māras. As the verse in the Buddhabhūmi-śāstra says: / "Sovereignty, blazing splendor, and dignity, / Renown, auspiciousness, and venerableness: / Endowed with such six meanings, / One should know that he is collectively named 'Bhaga'." / "Bhaga" is a sound, and "vat" means endowed with virtue. If one bears this sound of Bhaga, being able of oneself to break the four māras, one must be endowed with the six virtues: first is the meaning of sovereignty, because of being forever unattached to the various afflictions; second is the meaning of blazing splendor, because of being refined and tempered by the fierce fire of wisdom; third is the meaning of dignity, because of being adorned with the thirty-two marks and the like; fourth is the meaning of renown, because of the Buddha's supreme name being everywhere known; fifth is the meaning of auspiciousness, because of constantly giving rise to expedient means to benefit sentient beings; sixth is the meaning of venerableness, because of being respected by both the worldly and the transworldly. The current rendering "World-Honored One" lacks the preceding five meanings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.235](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.235) - [Next: 2.237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.237) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.2.236) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [說無垢稱經疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.1.29) — Classical Chinese - [金剛般若經贊述](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1700.1.51) — Classical Chinese - [大般若波羅蜜多經般若理趣分述讚](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1695.1.18) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.236](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.236) · Pramāṇa
