: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation顿颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉 (啶︵た啶掂啶啶曕啶粪啶膏) refers to 鈥渄ivine vision鈥�, according to the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺 2.2.19. Accordingly as Brahm膩 narrated to N膩rada:鈥斺�淸...] O sage, then I was stunned into silence. I was surprised. I became suspicious. I covered up the semen drops lest anyone should see them.

In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra1) 顿颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉 (啶︵た啶掂啶啶曕啶粪啶膏) refers to 鈥渄ivine eye鈥� and represents one of the five superknowledges (辫补帽肠腻产丑颈箩帽腻) according to the 2nd century Mah膩辫谤补箩帽腻辫腻谤补尘颈迟腻艣膩stra chapter X. A pure form (谤奴辫补辫谤补蝉腻诲补) derived from the four great elements that occurs in the eye is called 诲颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉. It is able to see beings (sattva) and substances (dravya) that occur in the six destinies (峁岣峠补迟颈) of its own level and of lower levels. The divine eye is never incapable of distinguishing between a nearby and a distant form (谤奴辫补), between a coarse (蝉迟丑奴濒补) and a subtle (蝉奴办峁补) form.
There are two kinds of 诲颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉,
- the one that comes from retribution (惫颈辫腻办补濒补产诲丑补)
- and the one that comes from practice (产丑腻惫补苍腻濒补产诲丑补).
2) 顿颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉 (啶︵た啶掂啶啶曕啶粪啶膏) refers to the 鈥渄ivine eye鈥� and represents one of the five visual powers (肠补办峁蝉) attributed to the Buddha according to the 2nd century Mah膩辫谤补箩帽腻辫腻谤补尘颈迟腻艣膩stra (chapter XIV). It is the divine eye (诲颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉) that considers the universe (濒辞办补诲丑腻迟耻) and beings (sattva) without encountering any obstacles (补苍腻惫补谤补峁嘺尘). It is not the same for the other eyes. The wisdom-eye, the Dharma-eye and the buddha-eye, although superior [to the divine eye] are not meant to see beings. If one wishes to see beings, there are only two eyes one can use, the fleshly eye (m膩峁僺a肠补办峁蝉) and the divine eye (诲颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉) but since the fleshly eye鈥檚 range is insufficient and encounters obstacles, the Buddha uses the divine eye (诲颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉) [to contemplate the universe].
The range of the divine eye (诲颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉) is not obstructed by mountains (parvata), walls (办耻岣峺补) or forests (vana). The zealous person (惫墨谤测补惫补迟), disciplined (艣墨濒补惫补迟) and concentrated (诲丑测腻测颈苍), obtains it by the power of practice; it is not an inborn gift. This is why it is called 诲颈惫测补肠补办补峁蝉.
According to chapter 50, 鈥淸...] having obtained the divine eye (诲颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉), he sees what is distant and what is near, what is in front and what which is behind, what is internal and what is external, he sees during the day and during the night, he sees what is above and what is below, for there are no further screens. This divine eye (诲颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉) sees the provisional entities resulting from causes and conditions coming together, but he does not see the true nature (诲丑补谤尘补迟腻), namely, emptiness (艣奴苍测补迟腻), signlessness (腻苍颈尘颈迟迟补), wishlessness (补辫谤补峁噄丑颈迟补), non-arising (补苍耻迟辫腻诲补), non-cessation (anirodha)鈥�.
3) 顿颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉 (啶︵た啶掂啶啶曕啶粪啶膏) or Cyutupap膩daj帽膩na refers to the 鈥渒nowledge of the death and rebirth of beings鈥� and represents one of the six 鈥渟uperknowledges鈥� (补产丑颈箩帽腻), according to chapter XLIII.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥渢he Bodhisattva-Mah膩sattva who wishes to become established in the six superknowledges [viz., 顿颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉] should practice the perfection of wisdom (辫谤补箩帽腻辫腻谤补尘颈迟腻)鈥�.
: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the Gaganaga帽japarip峁沜ch膩顿颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉 (啶︵た啶掂啶啶曕啶粪啶膏) refers to the 鈥渄ivine sight鈥�, according to the Gaganaga帽japarip峁沜ch膩: the eighth chapter of the Mah膩sa峁僴ip膩ta (a collection of Mah膩y膩na Buddhist S奴tras).鈥擜ccordingly: 鈥淸...] Then the Bodhisattva named Samant膩loka thought like this: 鈥淒oes this magical arrangement of the Bodhisattva Gaganaga帽ja exist only in this world, or in other world-spheres as well?鈥� The Bodhisattva Gaganaga帽ja, knowing telepathically the thought of the Bodhisattva Samat膩loka, said to him: 鈥楽on of good family, if you gain the divine sight (诲颈惫测补肠补办峁蝉) which is completely clear and pure, son of good family, you can look at whatever can be seen in the world-spheres of ten directions鈥�. [...]鈥�
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.
