63.32

Furthermore, the *Vajrasamādhi-avibhadra-aviṇāśa-sūtra* states: The Buddha said: "Maitreya, you should know that the great lake Anavatapta issues four great rivers. These four great rivers divide into eight rivers, and together with all the streams of Jambudvīpa, they all return to the great ocean. Due to the Mount Wojiao, the great ocean does not increase; due to the vajra-wheel, the great ocean does not decrease. Because this vajra-wheel turns in accordance with the seasons, it causes the water of the great ocean to have the single taste of salt."
