摩揭陀（或云摩竭提亦云墨竭提皆梵語訛轉也自古翻傳隨義立名或云不至言其國隣敵不能侵至也又云遍聰慧言聰慧之人遍其國內也又言無毒害言其國法不行刑殺其有犯死罪但送寒林耳）。

Magadha (摩揭陀: also called Mojieti, or Mojieti; these are all corruptions in Sanskrit phonetic changes. Since ancient times translators established names according to the meaning. Some say 'Unreached', meaning neighboring enemies cannot invade and reach that country; some say 'All-Wise', meaning wise people pervade the country; some also say 'Free from Harm', meaning that under the laws of that country, capital punishment is not carried out—anyone who commits a capital crime is merely sent to the cold forest [śītavana]).
