Avalokiteśvara is a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. He is one of the more widely revered bodhisattvas in mainstream Mahayana Buddhism.

The original name for this bodhisattva was Avalokitasvara. The Chinese name for Avalokitasvara is Guānshìyīn Púsa, which is a translation of the earlier name "Avalokitasvara Bodhisattva." This bodhisattva is variably depicted as male or female, and may also be referred to simply as Guānyīn in certain contexts.

In Sanskrit, Avalokitesvara is also referred to as Padmapāni ("Holder of the Lotus") or Lokeśvara ("Lord of the World"). In Tibetan, Avalokiteśvara is known as Chenrezig, and is said to be incarnated in the Dalai Lama, the Karmapa and other high lamas.

He is also known as Padmapani, the holder of the lotus. He is invariably depicted as holding a lotus.

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels, “IPL affords an opportunity to lots of talented players from all over the world - I specially mean the uncapped talented players - to show their skills and come into reckoning for their national teams.”

Zimbabwean cricketer turned commentator Pumelelo Mbangwa says “IPL provides an opportunity mainly to youngsters who perhaps otherwise wouldn’t get noticed in a country as vast as India. There are some talented youngsters no doubt who have come to the fore [through the competition] and that’s the good thing about IPL.”

New Zealand cricketer turned feisty commentator Danny Morrison says “It means a lot of opportunities for young Indians and opportunity for talented international stars to show their wares. This trophy is more traditional [than the previous one].”

What are they talking about here?
I need a specific answer.
