大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 19.64

19.64

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.
