Anuttara 2 of 5

Vijaya

विजय

One of the four Anuttara at the east, just below the roof of the world.

Anuttara means unsurpassed, and these five are exactly that: nothing occupied stands above them except Siddhaśilā, which is not a heaven.

At most two more births before liberation. Souls in the Anuttara are all samyagdṛṣṭi, all beyond desire, and all effectively on the way out.

It stands at the east, with Sarvārthasiddhi at the centre of the five. The four directional Anuttara share the same names as the four gates of Jambūdvīpa's rim wall, all of them words for victory.

Do not be heedless, Gautama, for even a single samaya.
