Jambudvīpa (贍部洲: the first character is pronounced *shi* + *ran* [= *shàn*]; it is Sanskrit, the general name for this continent; ancient translations had Zhanfu, Yanfu, Yanfuti, or Yanfuli; correctly *jambu*; the *Lokasthiti-abhidharma-śāstra* says there is a jambu tree growing on the northern border of this continent on the south bank of the Nimindhara River, right at the centre of the continent, overlooking the water to the north; beneath this tree, on the waterbed, there is jambunada gold; the tree is named after the gold, and the continent is designated after the tree, hence the name Jambudvīpa; *zhan* [譫] is pronounced *zhi* + *ye* [= *zhān*]; *zhan* [𭛆] is pronounced *can* + *lan* [= *cǎn*]).
