The eternally youthful crown prince (kumārabhūta), so called because of his special identification with the Prajñāpāramitā, or Transcendence of Wisdom. He is the only member of the Buddha's retinue who volunteers to visit Vimalakīrti, and he serves as Vimalakīrti's principal interlocutor throughout the sūtra. Traditionally regarded as the wisest of bodhisattvas, in Tibetan tradition he is known as {rgyal ba'i yab gcig}, the "sole father of buddhas," as he inspires them in their realization of the profound. He is represented as bearing the sword of wisdom in his right hand and a volume of the Prajñāpāramitāsūtra in his left. He is always youthful in appearance, like a boy of sixteen.
