那爛陀 (Also written as 那爛多 [Nālandā], the name of a monastery in the Western Regions. It translates here as 'Giver without Satiety'. The Xiyu ji says: 'Successive generations of monarchs joined together to construct it into a single monastery, opening its gate to the east, constantly providing for a thousand monks. Since its founding, not a single person has violated the precepts or raised doubts. Therefore, throughout the five Indias, donations and giving are without satiety, and it was named after this.' It is located in the territory of Central India).
