He is like the king of the lions (siṃharāja). [...] The Buddha-lion is very similar. He is born into the great families of the six perfections and the four ancient stocks of saints. He lives in the high mountain of cessation and the deep valley of the dhyānas and the samāpattis. The acquisition of the knowledge of all the aspects (sarvākārajñāna) is his head. [...]
