The \*Brief Commentary on Vimalakīrti\* states: "Myriad realms differ; they are also called \*kṣetra\*." Chuiyu states: "Taking their differences in adornment, they are named \*kṣetra\*." This is a general designation referring to a country as a \*kṣetra\*. Furthermore, saṅghārāmas are called Brahma-\*kṣetra\* (monastic grounds); as the \*Fuxing\* says: "In the Western Regions, a pillar was used to signal a \*kṣetra\*, indicating the place of dwelling. The Sanskrit word \*yaṣṭi\* is translated here as pole, that is, a banner pole. The \*Dīrgha-āgama\* states: 'If a śramaṇa in this Dharma diligently strives and attains a single teaching, he should erect a banner to announce to the four directions: "There is now a person of few desires."' Furthermore, the \*Lotus Sūtra\* states: 'The indicator pole was extremely high and wide.' This was because the stūpa was high and eminent, serving as a prominent sign for the golden ground. Therefore, using the sign of gathering, it permanently marked the golden \*kṣetra\*. As the \*Fayuan\* states: 'King Aśoka took golden flowers and golden banners and hung them upon various poles, so that the stūpas and monasteries rose and fell \[in visual splendour\].'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.7.4) - [Next: 7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.7.6) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.7.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.7.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.7.5) · Pramāṇa
