2.37

On the passage in the sūtra "Today the Hero of the World abides where the Buddhas abide": The commentary states: This is the second thought. Some say: What is abided in is great nirvāṇa, because all Buddhas abide in it together; the Buddha is the most heroic and valiant in the world, hence he is called the Hero of the World. This is incorrect. The Buddha constantly abides in nirvāṇa, not just abiding in it today. Now, the Tathāgata abides in the equality samādhi of all Buddhas, capable of conquering all Māras—a heroic god; hence abiding in the Buddha's abode is the cause for the name Hero of the World.
