This means that this asura is skilled in illusory arts, able to use a single thread to conjure up diverse phenomena. Another explanation says: 'Vima' here means 'pervading space'; 'citra' means 'various arrays of adornments', meaning that when this asura battles with Śakra, he sets up various arrays of military weapons across space in ranks. The older translations as 'Loud Sound' \[響高\] or 'Cave-dweller' \[穴居\] are not precise renderings). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 21.83](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.21.83) - [Next: 21.85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.21.85) - [Up: 21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.21) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.21.84) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [新華嚴經論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1739.11.19) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.21.84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.21.84) · Pramāṇa
