祇樹（梵語也或云祇陀或云祇洹或云祇園皆一名也正梵音云誓多此譯為勝波斯匿王所治城也太子亦名勝給孤長者就勝太子抑買園地為佛建立精舍太子自留其樹供養佛僧故略云祇樹也）。

Jeta's Grove (祇樹: Sanskrit; also called Qituo, Qihuan, or Qiyuan, which are all one name; the correct Sanskrit sound is Jeta, translated here as Victorious; this is the city governed by King Prasenajit; the crown prince was also named Victorious (Jeta); the elder Anāthapiṇḍada pressed Crown Prince Jeta to sell the garden land to erect a monastery for the Buddha; the prince kept the trees himself to make offerings to the Buddha and the Saṅgha, so it is briefly called Jeta's Grove).
