觀無量壽佛經義疏 2.28

2.28

"At that time there was a minister named Yueguang (Candraprabha), intelligent and possessed of great wisdom, together with Jīva, who made prostrations before the king." Yueguang is in Chinese. Jīva is Sanskrit, translated here as "Solid Life" (Guhuo). When he was born, in one hand he held a medicine bag and in the other he held a needle-case. In the past he vowed to be a physician, curing illnesses to preserve life, so his name was established from his virtue. He was the son of the Āmrapālī woman. Both possessed great wisdom, clearly showing they were worthy ministers. Second, presenting the words of remonstrance.
