Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastraṛdⲹśīٲ (हृदयश्रीवत्स) refers to the �śīٲ mark on the chest�, from which the Buddha emitted numerous rays when he smiled with his whole body after contemplating the entire universe, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter XIV).—Accordingly, having himself arranged the lion-seat, the Bhagavat sat down cross-legged; holding his body upright and fixing his attention, he entered into the Ჹ. Then, having tranquilly come out of this and having contemplated the entire universe with his divine eye (徱ⲹṣu), the Bhagavat smiled with his whole body. Wheels with a thousand spokes imprinted on the soles of his feet (岹ٲ) shoot out six hundred 岹ṭi of rays. In the same way, beams of six hundred 岹ṭi of rays are emitted from the śīٲ mark on his chest (hṛdaya-śīٲ).
