In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
: Wisdom Library: LokottaravādaŚԲ (शक्राभिलग्�) refers to a type of gemstone described in the “the second Avalokita-sūtra� of the Ѳ屹ٳ. Accordingly, when the Buddha (as a Bodhisattva) visited the bodhi-tree, several hunderd thousands of devas, in their place in the sky, adorned the Bodhisattva with several celestial substances. Then some of them envisioned the bodhi-tree as sparkling with śԲ gems.
The stories found in this part of the Ѳ屹ٳ correspond to the stories from the ū-ԾԲ section of the Nidāna-kathā. The Ѳ屹ٳ is an important text of the Lokottaravāda school of buddhism, dating from the 2nd century BCE.
