The \*Fǎhuá shū\* says: "Foreign countries call fire \*jyotiḥ-śikhin\*. This king originally cultivated the fire samādhi to break through the delusions of the desire realm, establishing his name after his virtue." It also says: "The sūtra notes the Brahma King and then mentions Śikhin, seemingly as if they were two persons. According to the \*Dàzhìdù lùn\*, it is precisely Śikhin who is the king; here, presenting his title to make his name evident, it probably refers to one person." Sengzhao says: "Śikhin is the name of a Brahma King, in the language of Qin meaning 'topknot' (dingji)." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.16) - [Next: 2.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.18) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.2.17) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [妙法蓮華經文句](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.2.118) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.17) · Pramāṇa
