18.99

第九法王子住中，初舉法勸修中，國名進求者，反道之相，人皆背捨既成順用，故令進求。又在反道之位，不宜怠慢，故以為名。依天竺本名伊舍那，此云曠野，亦名悕求。婆羅門者，梵志淨行。方便命者，隨事以方便為命，故刀火不能損也。又刀火返道以為方便，正行相續故稱為命。天竺本是野人也。

In the ninth dwelling, that of the Dharma prince, first, in adducing the teaching to encourage cultivation, the country named Advancing and Seeking (Jìnqiú): as it has the appearance of opposing the Way, and people all turn their backs on and abandon it, since it has already become a compliant function, he is therefore made to advance and seek. Furthermore, being in a stage of opposing the Way, one should not be negligent, hence it is taken as its name. According to the Indian text, it is named Īśāna (Yīshénà), which here means "wilderness" (kuàngyě), and is also called "hopeful seeking" (xīqiú). A "brahmin" is one of pure conduct with a brahmacārin's resolve. As for "Expedient Life" (Fāngbiànmìng / Jayosman): he follows circumstances, taking expedients as his life, and therefore knives and fire cannot harm him. Furthermore, taking knives and fire which oppose the Way as expedients, and correct practice continuing uninterrupted, it is therefore called "life." The Indian text is "wild man" (āraṇyaka).
