4.25

[Laṅkā] Correctly pronounced lengjia. The Buddha dwelt on the shore of the southern sea, entered Mount Malaya in the country of Laṅkā, and expounded this sūtra. In Sanskrit, Laṅkā translates as "inaccessible", which only those with supernormal powers can reach. Avatāra translates as "entry", meaning entering into this mountain and preaching this jewel. Alternatively, it is translated as "unsurpassed", meaning that the Dharma of this sūtra is an unsurpassed jewel.
