Bhagavati Sūtra
2. The various types of gems have been stated to be as follows :
vajra, vaidūrya, lohitākșa, masāragalla, harsagarbha, pulaka, saugandhika, jyotirasa, arka, añjana, ratna, jätarūpa, añjanapulāka and sphatika (crystal).
3. Two similes have been used, viz., (1) that of a lass held by the hand by a lad, and (2) that of the spokes of a wheel which are held by its axle.
The point at issue is that the lass is held so tight by the lad that there is no gap between the two. Similarly, the spokes of the wheel are so fixed at its axle that there is no gap between one and the other. Likewise, Camarendra has very wide powers to fill up innumerable isles and seas in such a manner that there may be no gap.
4. Writing about the Vairocanendra, the commentator states : The Asurakumāras of the northern region have a greater brilliance than the Asurakumāras of the south, because of which the former are called Vairocana and their Indra is called Vairocanendra. His powers are more than those of Ca marendra.
5. What has been said about Dharanendra has to be repeated about all the Bhavanapati Indras till Mahäghoşa. The following are the Indras of the Bhavanapatis :
South-Camara, Dharana, Venudeva, Harikāņta, Agniśikha, Pūrņa, Jalakānta, Amita, Vilamba (Vileva) and Ghoșa.
