菴羅衛林(舊言菴羅園即菴婆羅女以園施佛仍本為名也言衛者此云女昔常守衛看護此林也)。

Āmrapālī Grove (菴羅衛林: previously called the Āmra Grove. That is, the woman Āmrapālī donated her grove to the Buddha, and it retained its original name. As for the word *wei* [衛, guardian/protectress], here it means woman, for she had formerly guarded and tended this grove).
