疏「更有異釋如音義」者,彼云「釋迦,正云鑠迦羅,此云帝也。因陀羅,此云主也。古來釋同佛釋種,族望之稱,謬之深矣。」又《楞伽》、《大雲疏》云:天帝名有一百八,今略舉三:一因陀羅,此云尊重,三十三天共尊重故。二云釋迦,此云勇猛,威德勇猛勝諸天故。三名不蘭陀,此云降伏,以能降伏阿修羅故。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "There are further divergent interpretations as in the *Yinyi*": that text states, "Śakra, correctly Śakra, means 'ruler' (ti) here. Indra means 'lord' (zhu) here. From ancient times, commentators took it to be the same as the Buddha's Śākya clan, regarding it as an appellation of lineage and renown, which is an utter fallacy." Furthermore, the commentaries to the *Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra* and the *Mahāmegha-sūtra* state: the Lord of the Devas has one hundred and eight names; here three are briefly mentioned: First is Indra, which here translates as 'revered', because he is mutually revered by all thirty-three heavens. Second is Śakra, which here translates as 'valiant', because his awe-inspiring power and valor surpass all the devas. Third is Purandara, which here translates as 'subduer', because he is able to subdue the asuras.
