Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva originally sat in full lotus posture; his supernatural powers and transformations are sovereign and unhindered, hence he is called Guanzizai (Contemplating Sovereignty). Today, people make images sitting with one foot raised and one hand resting, calling it 'Sovereign Avalokiteśvara'; this is an error. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970.4.57) - [Next: 4.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970.4.59) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970~en-mt.4.58) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970.4.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970.4.58) · Pramāṇa
