阿摩勒（此云無垢南本經作呵黎勒誤也此方其識淨三藏云菴摩勒迦此云苦澁藥形如小柰若云菴摩羅菴沒羅狀如木苽大如鵞子甘美或生如熟或熟如生故經云生熟難分者也鞞䤈勒者狀如甘子味酸並無正翻也）。

> "Āmalaka" (Here translated as stainless. Southern editions of the sūtra write it as 呵黎勒 \[harītaki\], which is an error. In this land its fruit is known: Tripiṭaka \[Master\] Xuanzang said that āmalaka is here translated as bitter-astringent medicine, shaped like a small crabapple. As for āmra (菴摩羅) or āmra (菴沒羅), it resembles a papaya and is as large as a goose egg, sweet and delicious; sometimes the unripe appears ripe or the ripe appears unripe, which is why the sūtra says: 'unripe and ripe are hard to distinguish'. The vibhītaka (鞞䤈勒) resembles a small sweet orange and tastes sour; none of them has a single standard translation).
