經律異相 3.36

3.36

雪山頂有藥王樹。名非從根生非不從生。縱廣六百八十萬由旬。下極金剛際。此樹生根時。閻浮提樹一切根生。若生莖時及枝葉華果時。閻浮提樹一切悉生枝葉華果。其樹根能生莖。莖能生根。是故名曰不從根生非不從根。於一切處悉能生長。唯除地獄深坑。及水輪中不得生長耳（出華嚴經第三十卷）。

At the peak of the Snowy Mountains there is a king of medicinal trees named Neither-Born-from-Roots-nor-Not-Born-from-Roots. It is six million eight hundred thousand yojanas in breadth and extent, and below it reaches down to the limit of the adamantine realm. When this tree produces roots, all the roots of the trees of Jambudvīpa are born. When it produces trunks, and when it produces branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits, all the trees of Jambudvīpa likewise produce branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits. The roots of this tree can produce trunks, and the trunks can produce roots; therefore it is named Neither-Born-from-Roots-nor-Not-Born-from-Roots. It can grow in all places, only excepting the deep pits of the hells and within the water wheel, where it cannot grow (from the thirtieth fascicle of the *Avataṃsaka-sūtra*).
