5.48

[Kāra (kara)] In the language of Qin, it means "maker." The syllable ka door in the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra is because a maker of all dharmas is ungraspable. The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: "Knowing that among all dharmas there is no maker." In the Avataṃsaka Sūtra, when chanting the syllable ka, it is named "cloud without distinctions." The Commentary says: "Karmic actions are like clouds, all devoid of distinctions."
