23.11

長行釋中,初解諍門,謂阿死羅者,人別名也。摩登祇者,栴茶羅女名摩登祇,栴茶羅男名摩登伽,此二是通名也。此女但以掃巾為活,世人假立大富大財,如來隨彼亦說大財。

In the prose commentary, it first explains the section on dispute: "Asira" is the personal name of a person. "Mātaṅgī": a caṇḍāla female is named Mātaṅgī, and a caṇḍāla male is named Mātaṅga; these two are generic names. This woman made a living merely with a broom; worldly people conventionally established her as having great wealth and grand riches, and the Tathāgata, conforming to them, also spoke of great wealth.
