[Sahā] The Record of the Western Regions says: "The Sahā world-system of three thousand great thousand lands is the scope converted and gathered by one buddha. The old form Suopo, and also Suohe, are both errors." The Laṅkā translates it as "Enduring." The Karuṇāpuṇḍarīka says: "Why is it named Sahā? These sentient beings endure the three poisons and all defilements; because they can endure these evils, it is called the Land of Endurance." The Rulai duzheng zishe sanmei jing says: "Shaha, in the Han language called the Realm of Endurance." Tripiṭaka Master Paramārtha says: "At the beginning of the kalpa, King Brahmā was named Endurance; Brahmā is the lord of the world, hence it is called the Land of Endurance." Another says: "The World of Mixed Assembly." Changshui says: "The general name for the great-thousand realm." The Gantong zhuan says: "Sahā is the collective title for the great-thousand [world]." Gushan says: "It cites its general name, not referring strictly to the great-thousand."
