3.108

In the sixteenth year (yiwei), the Buddha was in the Āmrapālī Grove in Vaiśālī and preached the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa Sūtra (Vaiśālī is translated here as 'vast, broad, ornate, and pure'. Āmra was formerly translated as 'nai' [quince]; its fruit resembles a pear, with abundant flowers and few seeds. Vimalakīrti is translated here as 'Pure Name' [Jingming]: his defilements of the three delusions having been exhausted, he possessed great renown. This sūtra represents the chief of the Vaipulya section).
