1.27

*Anuttara*: the Qin rendered it as 'Unsurpassed' (無上). The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: 'Just as among all dharmas nirvāṇa is unsurpassed, so among living beings the Buddha is also unsurpassed.' The Bodhisattvabhūmi-sūtra says: 'He alone is the supreme hero, hence named the Unsurpassed Person.' The Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra says: 'One who still has something to sever is called a surpassed person; one who has nothing left to sever is called an unsurpassed person.'
