27.37

Pūrṇa-maitrāyaṇīputra: (Pūrṇa-maitrāyaṇīputra; here rendered 'Son of Full Compassion' [滿慈子]. Pūrṇa is 'Full'; Maitrāyaṇī is the feminine vocative for 'Compassion'; putra is 'son'. 'Compassion' is his mother's name; 'Full' is his personal name. Thus Venerable Pūrṇa is the son of the lady Maitrāyaṇī. Or, both 'Full' and 'Compassion' are designations of the mother, hence 'Son of Full Compassion'. Other explanations are not correct).
