5.62

[Bhaga / Bhaṅga] In Qin it means "breaking" (bhaṅga). In the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, as for the bha-syllable, it is because one enters into the ungraspability of the destruction of all phenomena. The Śāstra says: "One knows that the characteristic of breakability of all phenomena is ungraspable." In the Avataṃsaka Sūtra, when intoning the syllable bha (pronounced pú-è), it is called the complete and adorned palace of omniscience. The Commentary says: "Namely, breakable nature. As for the word 'complete', Amoghavajra translated it as 'bodhimaṇḍa'."
