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.'
