Etymology: The "Sixth Heaven" refers to Paranirmitavaśavartin, the uppermost of six heavens in the Desire Realm according to Buddhism, known in Japanese as 他化自在天 (Takejizai-ten). This heaven is ruled by the demon Mara, who deceives souls. Sense 2 refers to Nobunaga's attack against the Enryaku-ji monastery in 1571, causing his enemies to compare him to the demon in Buddhism. Nobunaga later used this epithet for himself to intimidate his enemies. It was later attested in a letter to Shingen Takeda as his signature, and the Portuguese missionary Luís Fróis who mentioned that Nobunaga used it as a title for himself.
