3.180

In Sanskrit, it is fully called Kārttika. That is the name of the full-moon lunar mansion of the ninth month. It means that in the Western Realm, the three-month retreat dissolves on the sixteenth day of the ninth month, and because the monks of the later retreat go about to convert beings, it takes its name from this full-moon lunar mansion.
