翅搜 (fanqie 尸 + 豉; the second: fanqie 所 + 流. Note that the city of Bhagīratha-Śākya is an Indian city; translated, bhagī means 'dwelling place', and śākya-sau means 'able'—that is, the city of the dwelling place of the Able One [Śākyamuni]. In sūtras it is sometimes written as the city of Shishi-shou, or as the city of Śrāvastī, or called the city of Kapilavastu; all are due to phonetic light-and-heavy variations in the Sanskrit names and corrupted pronunciations of 'Śākya').
