6.91

Udumbara (優曇鉢羅: the second character has the fanqie *tú* + *hán* [tán]. This is Sanskrit. Formerly it was called *yōután*; correctly it is *wūdánbōluó*. Here it is translated as "auspicious cloud," a wondrous celestial flower. This flower does not exist in the human realm. Only when a Tathāgata descends to be born or a golden wheel-turning king appears does this flower manifest through the power of great merit).
