佛頂尊勝陀羅尼經教跡義記 1.19

1.19

第二以處表事者，有其三種：第一以國表事，第二以林表事，第三以園表事。且第一以國表事者，即是室羅筏國也，漢云名聞城也，即是中天竺國勝軍王所治之城，用表如來永超三界、長出二乘，悲潤四生、身圓萬德，故居遠聞城也。第二以林表事者，即是誓多林，漢云最勝林，此即是戰勝太子所施之林，用表如來七覺法林慈蔭一切也。第三以園表事者，即是給孤獨園也，此是須達長者所施之園，表如來有無量法，齎給施一切貧乏眾生也。此則是第二以處表事竟。

Regarding the second, indicating affairs by means of place: there are three kinds: first, indicating affairs by means of the country; second, indicating affairs by means of the grove; third, indicating affairs by means of the park. First, indicating affairs by means of the country: this is Śrāvastī country, in Chinese called the City of Renown; it is the city governed by King Prasenajit of Central India, used to symbolize that the Tathāgata eternally transcends the three realms, forever surpasses the two vehicles, compassionately moistens the four modes of birth, and his body is complete with the myriad virtues—therefore he resides in the Far-Reowned City. Second, indicating affairs by means of the grove: this is the Jetavana, in Chinese called the Victorious Grove; this is the grove donated by Prince Jeta (Victorious in Battle), used to symbolize the Tathāgata's Dharma grove of the seven factors of awakening compassionately shading all. Third, indicating affairs by means of the park: this is Anāthapiṇḍadārāma; this is the park donated by Elder Sudatta, symbolizing that the Tathāgata possesses boundless Dharmas to bestow and give to all impoverished sentient beings. This concludes the second, indicating affairs by means of place.
