As the sun rises higher, they progressively disappear; they can only be seen with the eyes, but have no reality. This is called a gandharva city (gandharvanagara).” Jingyuan's \*Huayan yinyi\* says: “In the Western Regions, musicians are called gandharvas. Those musicians often magically create city walls that return to normal in an instant; hence it is attributed to the manifestations of water dragons (\*shen\*).” The \*Fuxing\* says: “A gandharva city is commonly called a \*shen\* vapor. The \*shen\* is a large clam. Rising in the morning over ocean islands, viewed from afar it seems to exist, but viewed close up it is nothing.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.85) - [Next: 3.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.87) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.3.86) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.3.86) · Pramāṇa
