"Sumeru" is the Wonderfully High Mountain; it unites the four continents, encircled by a single sun and moon. "Lotus" refers to the Padmagarbha world. The lion-shaped world is the most supreme among realms. Worlds are like vessels: some are tilted, some overturned, some facing upwards, and some horizontal. "Indra's net" is the net of Śakra; the net has a thousand jewels whose lights interreflect, illustrating the multiply layered and endless nature of worlds. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.196](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.1.196) - [Next: 1.198](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.1.198) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789~en-mt.1.197) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པའི་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo.1.20) — Classical Tibetan - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པ་རིན་པོ་ཆེའི་མདོ་ལས་སངས་རྒྱས་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱི་གསུང་གི་སྙིང་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་ལེའུ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo-d108.1.5) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.1.197](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.1.197) · Pramāṇa
