閻浮提(正云贍部提贍部樹名也提此云洲謂香山上阿耨池南有一大樹名為贍部其葉上闊下狹此南洲似彼故取為名也)。

Jambudvīpa (*yanfuti*; correctly rendered as *Jambudvīpa*; *Jambu* is the name of a tree; *dvīpa* is translated here as continent; south of Lake Anavatapta on Mount Gandhamādana there is a great tree named Jambu, whose leaves are broad at the top and narrow below; this southern continent resembles it, hence taking its name).
