Kauśāmbī (拘睒彌: the first character is pronounced 俱, the second has the fanqie 商染. This phrase is Sanskrit; its literal Chinese character meaning is not to be sought. It is the name of a country in Central India. When the Buddha was in the world, this country had a king named Udayana, translated into the Tang language as "Born of Love" (Chulai). Older translations called him 優陀延 or King Udayana (優填王), both of which are corrupt abbreviations).
