6.135

吠舍釐國: 釐 is pronounced like 离. Anciently called Vaiśālī (毘舍離) or Viyālī (毘耶離), which are both corruptions. In this country are the former residence of the householder Vimalakīrti and the ten-foot-square chamber where he preached the Dharma; spiritual traces are very numerous, as well as the miraculous trace of the deer woman's thousand sons, and the place where seven hundred arhats compiled the sacred teachings.
