1.121

梵題也。或云。僧伽羅摩。此云眾園。五分律云。缾沙王施迦蘭陀竹園為始也。園者生植之所。佛弟子居之。取生植道本聖果之義也。或云毘呵羅。此云遊止處。

This is a Sanskrit title, also rendered saṅghārāma; here translated as 'community garden'. The Mahīśāsaka Vinaya says: It began when King Bimbisāra offered the Karaṇḍa Bamboo Grove. A garden is a place where things are planted and grown; the Buddha's disciples dwell in it to signify the planting and growth of the root of the Way and the noble fruits. It is also called a vihāra, which is translated as a 'place of roaming and resting'.
