【毘婆尸】亦名維衛,此云勝觀。《俱舍》云:「三無數劫滿,逆次逢勝觀。燃燈寶髻佛,初釋迦牟尼。此由釋尊於勝觀佛,初種相好,故毘婆尸,為七佛首。以讚弗沙精進力故,超九大劫,故至于今,過九十一大劫也。」

[Vipaśyin]: Also named Weiwei; here translated as Supreme Contemplation (Shengguan). The Abhidharmakośa says: "When the three incalculable kalpas were completed, in reverse order he encountered Shengguan, Dīpaṃkara, and Ratnaśikhin Buddha, and the initial Śākyamuni." This is because the World-Honoured Śākya first planted the marks and signs under Vipaśyin Buddha; thus Vipaśyin is the head of the seven Buddhas. By virtue of his vigorous praise of Puṣya, he surpassed nine great kalpas; therefore, up to the present, ninety-one great kalpas have passed.
