Kumārajīva and Sengzhao translated it as Pure Name (Jingming); Daosheng and Tanxun said Undefiled Renown (Wugoucheng); Tripiṭaka Master Paramārtha said: "If fully preserved from the Sanskrit text, one should say \*Vimalakīrti\*. \*Vi\* means eliminating; \*mala\* means defilement; \*kīrti\* means fame. Combined together, it means 'elimination of defilement fame'." The first takes its name from what is attained; the second takes its designation from what is abandoned; "eliminating" is still what is abandoned. Because his fame was heard throughout the world, it is called fame; "fame" is just the meaning of "name". Although the words are broad or brief, their intention is not different. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.2.20) - [Next: 2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.2.22) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780~en-mt.2.21) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [維摩經義疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1781.1.15) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.2.21) · Pramāṇa
