Regarding the Commentary's mention of "Śalmali": This is translated as "variegated yellow." In the first chapter of the sūtra, the Asura King of Skillful Illusions and King Śalmali appear alternately in Chinese and Sanskrit across the verses and prose; this is different from this explanation, as the verse says "Red-Colored Light Spirit." Moreover, more than ten li southeast of that city there is a stūpa, within which is a tooth of the Buddha, about an inch and a half long, yellow-white in color. That place has many sacred traces, so it is the abode of a sage.
