中天竺舍衛國祇洹寺圖經 1.11

1.11

寺名祇樹給孤獨園。（依《寺誥》中凡有十名：一曰寺也，二曰淨住舍，三曰法同舍，四曰出世舍，五曰精舍，六曰清淨園，七曰金剛淨剎，八曰寂滅道場，九曰遠離處，十曰親近處也。）此上十名，依經釋相，各有其致。如彼《誥》中，今依諸經，初造此園，其地南北，周徼八十餘頃，東西長列，在舍衛城南五六里許。（檢諸傳記，里步或差。良是初起之後，造延役不，故願行季者，隨見便敘，致令曲士時居疑因。雖有多說，定在城南，可通照也。）

The name of the monastery is the Jetavana-anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma. (According to the Sigao, it has ten names in all: first, monastery; second, dwelling of pure abode; third, dwelling of shared Dharma; fourth, dwelling transcending the world; fifth, vihāra; sixth, pure grove; seventh, vajra pure monastery; eighth, sanctuary of quiescent extinction; ninth, place of seclusion; tenth, place of intimacy.) These ten names above, explained according to their characteristics in the sūtras, each have their own significance, as in that Sigao. Now, following the various sūtras: when this park was first constructed, its land from north to south had a perimeter of over eighty qing, extending lengthwise from east to west, located some five or six li south of the city of Śrāvastī. (Examining various accounts, the distances in li and paces vary somewhat. This is truly because after the initial construction, the work of expansion never ceased, so travelers of later periods described what they saw at the time, causing narrow-minded scholars to harbor doubts. Although there are multiple explanations, it was definitely south of the city, which can be understood.)
