The Chengzan jingtu jing mentions the Buddhas of the ten directions; here six directions are briefly cited, forming six sections. Taking up the eastern direction first, each direction has five sections: 1. indicating the land; 2. listing the Buddha names; 3. distinguishing their number; 4. clarifying the signs of confirmation; 5. citing the words of confirmation. Now the first two sections are recited together. 'The eastern direction' indicates the land; 'there are also Akṣobhya' and so forth lists the Buddha names. Citing the eastern direction first is because in the Western Regions the east is regarded as supreme, which is why it is cited first. 'Akṣobhya' is Sanskrit; here it means 'unshakeable,' because he is not shaken by the afflictions, the four māras, adversity, prosperity, and so forth. 'Merudhvaja' means that the golden countenance of the venerable form is like Meru. 'Mahāmeru' means that all the marks are exceedingly vast like the king of great mountains. 'Meruprabhāsa' means that the light of his body is as great as the king of mountains. 'Mañjughoṣa' means that his voice is wondrous, clear, resonant, and heard from afar. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.3.20) - [Next: 3.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.3.22) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758~en-mt.3.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1758.3.21) · Pramāṇa
