He has eight arms, three eyes, and rides a white ox." The \*Pǔmén shū\* says: "The \*Lóutàn jīng\* calls it Akaniṣṭha; the \*Huáyán jīng\* calls it the Ultimate of Form. Some people consider it to be the sixth heaven \[of the desire realm\], but various sūtras and treatises mostly state that the Great Sovereign is the summit of the form realm. The \*Dàzhìdù lùn\* says: 'Beyond the Pure Abode Heavens, there are bodhisattvas of the ten abodes, titled Great Sovereign, masters of the great chiliocosm.' The \*Shízhù jīng\* says: 'The light of Maheśvara surpasses all sentient beings.' In the offerings presented at the nirvāṇa, Maheśvara was supreme; therefore it is not the sixth heaven." Guanding says: "He is styled Emperor Weiling." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.20) - [Next: 2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.22) - [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.2.21) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [佛祖統紀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.31.34) — 志磐, Classical Chinese - [觀音義疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.2.67) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.21) · Pramāṇa
