Dhyāmīkṛta (ध्यामीकृत) refers to an “eclipse”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “By the light of the lion’s throne on which the Lord was seated, the great three-thousand thousands of worlds were illumined with a grand luster. The great three-thousand of worlds, the sun, the moon, the stars, Indras, Brahmas, and the protectors of the world, all of them were eclipsed (dhyāmīkṛta). When that whole assembly of Bodhisattvas saw these miracles, wonders, and amazing phenomena (āścaryādbhuta), they said to one another: ‘It would not be easy for us to see such an exceptional grandeur as the splendor of these pavilions even if our lifetime would fill an aeon. Thus the virtues (guṇavyūha) of these pavilions are immeasurable’.”.
