Apart from these names, some titles and epithets are of a Buddhist character. The title Arhant is given to Bhaiṣajyaguru in the mantra addressed to him.¹³¹ The same title is found in another mantra (A.s.Sū.8.60) that belongs to a long description, mainly in prose, of the preparation and application of a wonderful collyrium (añjana), called sarvārthasiddhāñjana (A.s.Sū.58–61). The being addressed in the mantra, also called a dhāraṇī in the text, is Cakṣuḥpariśodhanarāja, i.e., the (divine) king who completely purifies the eyes, namely the eyes of prajñā, jñāna and vijñāna. This being is obviously a healing Buddha, for he is called Tathāgata and Samyaksambuddha.
