ñԲ貹ٲᲹ (काञ्चनपर्वतराज) is the name of a Bodhisattva, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Then the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja said this to the congregation of Bodhisattvas: ‘Sons of good family, may all of you elucidate the gates into the dharma of transcending the path of the works of Māra� [...] The Bodhisattva ñԲ貹ٲᲹ thereupon said: ‘Giving up your sphere is to be attached to the sphere of Māra. Knowing that everywhere is the sphere of the Buddha is to know the sphere of the Buddha. If you do not see the sphere of the Buddha, how can you see your own sphere? In that way the Bodhisattva who has transcended the sphere has also transcended the sphere of māra. This is the gate into the dharma of transcending the sphere of Māra’�.
