In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraAnavatapta (啶呧え啶掂い啶啶�):鈥擜t the northern boundaries (of Jambudv墨pa), in the Snowy Mountains (Himavat), there is lake called Anavatapta; in the lake there is a lotus golden in color and made of the seven jewels, as large as a chariot wheel. [Its master], Anavatapata, king of the n膩gas (苍腻驳补谤腻箩补), is a great bodhisattva of the seventh bh奴mi.
At the four corners of the lake there are four [mouths] from which the water flows out:
- at the east, the Elephant鈥檚 Mouth (Siang 迟鈥檈辞耻 = hastimukha);
- at the south, the Ox鈥檚 Mouth (Nieou 迟鈥檈辞耻 = v峁涐梗abhamukha);
- at the west, the Horse鈥檚 Mouth (Ma 迟鈥檈辞耻 = a艣vamukha);
- at the north, the Lion鈥檚 Mouth (Che tseu 迟鈥檈辞耻 = si峁僪amukha).
According to the Si yu ki, l.c., Anavatapta is located at the center of Jambudv墨pa, south of the Perfumed Mountain (Gandham膩dana) and north of the great Snowy Mountain (Himavat).
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
