五、處。舍衛此云聞物,謂具足欲塵、財寶、多聞、解脫等,遠聞諸國故,義淨譯云名稱大城。祇樹等者,即祇陀太子所施之樹,給孤長者所買之園。祇陀此云戰勝,波斯匿王太子也,生時王與外國戰勝,因以為名。梵語須達,此云善施,給孤獨即是善施也,又亦常行施故。西國呼寺為僧伽藍,此云眾園。
Fifth, the place. Śrāvastī here is translated as 'hearing of things,' meaning it is fully endowed with sensual desires, wealth, vast learning, liberation, and so forth, and thus is heard of far and wide throughout various countries; Yijing translated it as 'the Great City of Renown.' 'Jeta's Trees,' and so on, refers to the trees donated by Crown Prince Jeta and the park purchased by Elder Anāthapiṇḍada. Jeta here translates as 'Victorious in Battle'; he was the crown prince of King Prasenajit, and when he was born the king won a victory in battle against a foreign country, hence he was named after it. In Sanskrit, Sudatta translates here as 'Generous Benefactor'; 'Anāthapiṇḍada' is precisely this 'Generous Benefactor,' and also because he constantly practiced giving. In the Western regions a monastery is called a saṅghārāma, which here translates as 'the assembly's park.'
