The name Anavatapta means "heat-free"; the waters of the lake were thought to be able to soothe the fires that torment beings. Anavatapta is also the name of the dragon that was said to live in the lake; having become a bodhisattva, it was free from the distresses that plague other dragons, which are tormented by fiery heat and preyed on by garudas. According to Charles Higham, Lake Anavatapta was a "sacred Himalayan lake imbued with miraculous curative powers to remove human sins." George Cœdès states the lake, "...according to Indian tradition, is located in the confines of the Himalayas, and its waters gush out of gargoyles in the form of the heads of animals." Lying south of Perfume Mountain, Lake Anavatapta is said to be 800 li in circumference and bordered by gold, silver, and precious stones. Four rivers issued from the lake. The earthly manifestation of the lake is often identified with Lake Manasarovar, which lies at the foot of Mount Kailash (Gandhamadana or Perfume Mountain) in the Himalayas. The four mythical rivers are sometimes identified with the Ganges (east), the Indus (south), the Amu Darya (west), and the Tarim or the Yellow River (north). (en) Anavatapta (Sánscrito अनवत्पत 'el carente de calor', en chino, 阿那婆達多; pinyin, Ānàpó-dáduō, también llamado en chino, 無熱(悩)池; pinyin, Wúrènǎochí 'la laguna sin calor') es un lago que yace en el centro del mundo, según la visión tradicional de la cosmología budista. El nombre Anavatapta significa 'sin calor'; se creía que las aguas del lago podían aliviar los fuegos que atormentaban a los seres vivos. Anavatapta es también el nombre del dragón que vive en el lago; habiéndose convertido en bodhisattva, es libre de las aflicciones que padecen otros dragones, que son atormentados por el calor asolador y presa de los garudas. Según Charles Higham, el lago Anavatapta era «un lago himalayo sagrado imbuido con poderes curativos milagrosos para eliminar los pecados humanos.» afirma que el lago, «...según la tradición india, se encuentra en los confines del Himalaya y sus aguas salen a borbotones de una gárgolas con la forma de cabezas de animales.» Ubicado en el sur de la montaña del Perfume, se dice que el lago Anavatapta tiene una circunferencia de 800 li y está rodeado de oro, plata y piedras preciosas. Cuatro ríos fluyen desde el lago. La manifestación terranal del lago se suele identificar con el lago Mana Sarovar, que se encuentra a los pies del Kailash (Gandhamadana o montaña del Perfume) en los Himalayas. Los cuatro ríos místicos a veces se identifican con el Ganges (este), el Indo (sur), the Amu Daria (oeste) y el Tarim o el río Amarillo (norte). Una vía por la que dicha visión cosmológica budista pasó de la China del siglo VI a Japón fue mediante la jardinería. Dichos jardines solían contar con una colina en el centro, que representaba al monte Meru, y un estanque, simbolizando Anavatapta. (es) |
