烏瑟膩沙 [uṣṇīṣa] (Sanskrit; the designation of the Tathāgata's cranial protuberance. The Guan fo sanmei hai jing says: the fleshy protuberance atop the Tathāgata's crown is round, surging up in the center, elevated and magnificent, resembling a heavenly canopy. Another translation renders it 'the invisible cranial protuberance'; each carries a profound meaning).
