Language

1.46

述曰:第五處成就也。亦有三種:第一顯國;第二顯林;第三顯園。第一顯國者,即是室羅筏國也,漢云名聞城也,蓋是碩德廣學鴻儒嘉聲遠震,故曰名聞城也。舊云舍衛國,即是中天竺國,佛在世時勝軍王所治之城,周回六千餘里,其城中有二窣覩婆:一是佛姨母摩訶波提比丘尼精舍,一是須達長者故宅中窣覩婆。此即第一顯國竟。

The commentary states: This is the fifth, the fulfilment of the place. It also has three aspects: first, revealing the country; second, revealing the grove; third, revealing the park. As for the first, revealing the country: This is the country of Śrāvastī, rendered in Chinese as the City of Renown (Míngwén Chéng); because eminent virtues and wide learning of great scholars caused fine reputation to resonate afar, it is called the City of Renown. Formerly called the country of Śrāvastī (Shèwèi), it is in Central India, the city ruled by King Prasenajit when the Buddha was in the world, with a circumference of over six thousand li. Within that city are two stūpas: one is the vihāra of the bhikṣuṇī Mahāprajāpatī, the Buddha's maternal aunt; the other is the stūpa inside the former residence of the elder Sudatta. This concludes the first [aspect], revealing the country.
