18.43

Śakra, Lord of Gods (the Tripiṭaka master says: 'Di (emperor/lord) is the Tang language; Shi is an abbreviation of the Sanskrit.' The correct Sanskrit sound is Śakra. Translating its meaning into the Tang language, it signifies 'valiant and resolute.' The old translations abbreviated the text and simply said Dishi ('Lord Śakra'). Now following the ancient translation, both are cited together).
