Jambū[nada] (閻浮檀) (Sanskrit. Also called Yǎnfú or called Zhānbù [Jambu]. The Treatise on the Establishment of the World states: 'There is a Jambu tree growing on the south bank of the Nimindhara River, precisely at the center of this continent, facing north over the water. Beneath the tree at the bottom of the water on the south bank is Jambu gold, which is Jambūnada gold. Southern Jambudvīpa derives its name from this').
