Sāgaradeva

Person

据说曾开凿海洋的一位国王,显然即萨伽罗(Sāgara),他因愤怒而挖掘大地,使大地怀抱海水,海洋因此得名萨伽罗(Sāgara)。

A king who dug the ocean (DA.i.91; MA.ii.689).

The reference is evidently to Sāgara (q.v.), who, through anger, caused the earth to be excavated, and the earth came thus to have the ocean as her bosom.

From this the ocean has come to be called Sāgara. Mahābhārata xii.29.
