首楞嚴義疏注經 1.41

1.41

This is the fulfillment of place. There are two kinds of place: first, the place converted, namely the city of Śrāvastī; second, the place resided in, namely the Jeta Grove. In full it is Śrāvastī, which translates here as "Abundant Virtue", or "Heard of Things", or "Fond of the Way"; this is the name of the city, not the title of the kingdom. Because in that city there were abundant wealth and goods, fond of pleasurable sense objects, rich in learning, abundant in liberation, and its moral virtue and name were heard across the five Indias, it is also called the "City of the Hearer". Formerly an old immortal cultivated the Way here, and later a young immortal received instruction from him, whose title was "Hearer". After the old immortal passed away, the young immortal built a city here and resided in it, hence it was named after him. The kingdom's capital was named Kośala, but because the superior is easily prominent, the title of the city was mentioned instead. "Jeta Grove": in full it is Jeta, also written as Jeta or Ceta, which translates here as "Victorious in Battle", which was the crown prince's name. The owner of the grove was he, hence it is called "Victorious Grove"; huan (桓) is grove (lin 林). "Vihāra" (jingshe 精舍) is the residence where śramaṇas practice refined conduct. That is, Sudatta purchased the park and established the residence, while the crown prince gave up the trees and built the gates; the two constructed it together to invite the Saṅgha and the Buddha.
