Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

Anāsravadharma (अनास्रवधर्म) refers to the “collection of the pure dharmas”, according to  the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 40.—Accordingly: The Buddha utters the lion’s roar. He is like the king of the lions (siṃharāja). [...] The Buddha-lion is very similar. [...] The ten powers are his enormous strength. The collection of the pure dharmas (anāsravadharma) is his perfect body. The royal concentrations of the Buddhas are the den out of which he comes. It is with the four unhindered knowledges that he stretches out. It is on the earth of the dharmas that he strikes the paw of his unhindered liberations. [...]
