【提洹竭】或云提和竭羅，此云燃燈。《大論》云：「太子生時，一切身邊，光如燈故，故云燃燈，以至成佛，亦名燃燈。」鐙字，《說文》從金。徐鉉云：「錠中置燭，故謂之燈。」《聲類》云：「有足曰錠，無足曰燈。」故《瑞應經》翻為錠光。《摭華》云：「錠音定，燈屬也。古來翻譯，迴文不同，或云燃燈，或云錠光，語異義同，故須從金。」釋尊修行名儒童時，二僧祇滿，遇燃燈佛，得受記莂。

> \[Dīpaṃkara\]: Also called Dīpaṃkara; here translated as Burning Lamp (Randeng). The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: "When the prince was born, the light around his entire body was like a lamp, so he was called Burning Lamp; even up until he attained buddhahood, he was also named Burning Lamp." The character deng in the Shuowen is written with the metal radical. Xu Xuan says: "Placing a candle in a ding vessel is therefore called deng." The Shenglei says: "One with feet is called ding; one without feet is called deng." Therefore, the Ruiying jing translates it as Dingguang (Lamp Light). The Zhihua says: "Ding is pronounced ding; it is of the genus of lamps. In ancient translations, the phonetic rendering differed; some said Randeng, others Dingguang. The words differ, but the meaning is the same; thus it should follow the metal radical." When Śākyamuni was practicing under the name Mānavaka, at the completion of his second asaṃkhyeya, he encountered Dīpaṃkara Buddha and received his prophecy.
