4.53

阿練若 (also written 阿練兒, 阿蘭若, or 阿蘭那; all are corrupt Sanskrit transliterations. Correctly it is araṇya, translated in meaning as 'solitary and quiet place' or 'place free of contention'. The dwellings are varied: some reside on gravel sands, mountain forests, open wildernesses, or among charnel grounds and cold groves; all are at least one krośa beyond villages and towns, far removed from noise and clamour.)
