Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraAjapati (啶呧啶い啶�) refers to the 鈥渒ing of elephants鈥�, according to Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter 3).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸...] Then, after their 辫补谤颈苍颈谤惫腻峁嘺, the Devas, from those of the six realms of desire (办腻尘补濒辞办补) up to those of the pure abodes (艣耻诲诲丑腻惫腻蝉补), seeing that the Arhats had all entered into 苍颈谤惫腻峁嘺, had this thought: 鈥榌...] Now that these physicians of the Dharma hasten to enter into 苍颈谤惫腻峁嘺, who then will heal them? Like the lotus (辫耻峁囜笉补谤墨办补), the disciples, arisen in the immense ocean of wisdom, are now withered. The tree of the Dharma (诲丑补谤尘补惫峁沰峁) has been cut down; the cloud of Dharma (dharmamegha) has dissipated. The king of elephants (ajapati) of great wisdom has withdrawn, the offspring of the elephants (gajapota) follow after him. The merchants of the Dharma (诲丑补谤尘补惫补峁噄箩) have gone, from whom can we request the jewel of the Dharma (dharmaratna)? 鈥�.鈥�.
