77.11

疏「此云多思惟」者,婆沙亦云支那,此云漢也。《西域記》云「大漢,具云摩訶支那。故真諦三藏云衣物。」意云:是衣冠人物之國。皆是義翻,疏翻為正。

Regarding the Commentary's statement 'This translates as Much Reflection': the Vibhāṣā also calls it Zhina (Cīna), which translates here as Han. The Record of the Western Regions states, 'Great Han is fully called Mahācīna. Therefore, Tripiṭaka Master Paramārtha translated it as clothing and caps.' The intention is that it is a land of refined dress and cultured people. These are all translations by meaning; the translation in the Commentary is the correct one.
