41.233

沃焦海（上音屋。俗字也。正作𣵽。考聲云𣵽潤也臨也。說文溉灌也。從水天聲也。經言沃焦者山名也。郭氏玄中記云天下之強者東海之沃焦焉方三百里海水灌之隨盡故水東流而不盈也。異物志曰豫章建城有石色黃白而理踈以水灌之便熱如鼎其上炊之以熟。見有驗矣。立世阿毗曇論云。復次於中有何因緣大海中水大熱燋竭諸比丘劫初轉時。阿那毗羅大風取徙六日宮殿城郭𬅈置於彼大海水下安置其大海水皆悉消盡不曾盈汎猶彼六日天子宮殿熱故也。山海經亦云。陽谷扶葉有十日所浴九在下枝一在上枝是也）。

The Wojiao Sea (沃焦海: the first [character] is pronounced *wù*; a vulgar character, standardly written 𣵽. The Kaosheng says: '𣵽 means moistening; approaching.' The Shuowen says: 'To irrigate; derived from 水 with 夭 phonetic.' What the sūtra calls 'Wojiao' is the name of a mountain. Mr. Guo's Xuanzhong ji says: 'The most powerful place in the world is the Wojiao of the Eastern Sea, three hundred li square; ocean waters pouring into it are instantly consumed, which is why the waters flow eastward without overflowing.' The Yiwu zhi says: 'In Jiancheng of Yuzhang there are stones of a yellowish-white color with a coarse grain; when water is poured over them, they immediately become hot like a cauldron, and food can be cooked on them to doneness. There is tangible proof of this.' The Lishi apidong lun says: 'Furthermore, what is the cause therein that the water in the great ocean is scorched and dried up? Monks, when the kalpa first unfolds, the great Anabhila wind picks up and moves the palaces and walled cities of the six suns, placing them down beneath the waters of that great ocean, and the waters of that great ocean are completely consumed and never overflow, because the palaces of those six sun devas are hot.' The Shanhai jing also says: 'At the Valley of the Sun, on the Fusang tree, is where the ten suns bathe; nine are on the lower branches, and one is on the upper branch.' This is it.)
