29.44

Regarding the commentary's "The Kośa says: the shore of Lake Anavatapta": this is the eleventh fascicle of the treatise explaining the Lake Without Heat. The meaning says: beside this lake there is a jambu forest whose form is tall and large, and its fruit is sweet and delicious; relying on this forest, it is therefore called Jambudvīpa. Or relying on this fruit the continent's name is established, which the treatise does not further explain. Some say: because this continent is narrow in the south and broad in the north, and the leaves of the tree are large at the tip and small at the base, it resembles this continent. I have not seen this explained. As the Lishi apitan says, "The tree is in the south of this continent." Guoyani is also called Godānīya. "Go" means ox, and "dānīya" means trade. The northern continent is newly called Kuru. The rest can be understood.
