The Ruiying benqi jing also says: 'Śākya is interpreted as able.' It is identical to this. These four sons all took their clan name on account of being able. Because they lived in a forest of straight trees (śāka), they were therefore called Śākya; in the Central Asian languages, 'straight' is also called śāka. In India, a single sound often encompasses several meanings; this is commonly the case. King Ikṣvāku was thus the ancestor of the Śākya clan. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1.67) - [Next: 1.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1.69) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040~en-mt.1.68) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1.68) · Pramāṇa
