10.102

Good Actions (善業: in Sanskrit, *Subhūti*; also called *Soufudi* or *Subuti*. Here translated as "Good Reality", or "Good Actions", or "Good Fortune"—all have the same meaning. As for the rendering "Empty-Born", the Jin monk Kang Falang's *Za piyu jing* states: "In the kingdom of Śrāvastī there was an elder named Jiuliu who gave birth to a son named Subhūti. Because of his innate karmic reward, all food vessels were naturally empty, and he was named accordingly. Whatever he desired was immediately fulfilled. Later he left the household life and attained the path of an arhat." This refers to him).
