Daśabhūmīśvara (दशभूमीश्वर) refers to the “master of the ten Bodhisattva stages”, according to the Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī by Vilāsavajra, which is a commentary on the Nāmasaṃgīti.—Accordingly, [while describing Mañjuśrī]—“He is [described in NS 10 as] the jñānasattva since he dwells in the heart of all the tathāgatas. The jñānasattva Mañjuśrī is not the bodhisattva that is the master of the ten [bodhisattva] stages (daśabhūmīśvara). Rather, he is non-dual gnosis, the perfection of wisdom itself”.
