[Vajra] Also called cakra; the Da zhidu lun calls it yuezhe; the new translation says fozuoluo. The Xiyu ji states: 'Falazhe; here translated as vajra (diamond).' The Qiju zhu states: 'In the thirteenth year of Emperor Wu of Jin, someone from Dunhuang presented a vajra treasure. It is formed within gold; its color is like amethyst and its shape is like buckwheat. It does not melt after a hundred refinings, and it can cut jade like mud.' Master Kumārajīva said: 'If there is a square inch of vajra, all shapes and colors on the surfaces of stone cliffs within tens of li will be reflected in it.' The Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra states: 'Like a vajra jewel placed in sunlight, its color is not fixed. The vajra-samādhi is also like this: when among a great assembly, its appearance is not fixed.' The Da zhidu lun states: 'As for the vajra jewel, it is held by Śakra; when fighting the asuras, broken fragments fell down to Jambudvīpa.' The Saccaka-nirgrantha Sūtra states: 'Śakra's vajra jewel can destroy the asuras; wisdom crushing the mountain of afflictions can also destroy them in this way.' The Wuchang jing states: 'The vajra-pestle of wisdom shatters the mountain of heterodoxy, forever severing the entanglements from the beginningless past.'
