Reading edition

But see the Tun-huang treatise (Chavannes et Pelliot, op. cit. 1ère partie, pp. 515, n. 2, 516, 517, n. 3). There can be little doubt that it is to be referred to the Zodiac. The Aeons of the Light seem to be the five worlds who here play the part of the Parastatae in the Pistis Sophia.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
