Jambū-gold (the first character has the fanqie shí + rǎn. "Jambū" is Sanskrit; "gold" is Chinese. In older transliterations it was called Yánfútí or Yánfúlì, which are corruptions; the correct form is jambu. The Abhidharmakośa-śāstra/Lokasthiti-abhidharma-śāstra states: "There is a jambū tree growing on the northern edge of this continent, on the southern bank of the Naimiṃdharā River. Beneath this tree, at the bottom of the water, there is jambū gold." In ancient terms it was called jambūnada gold. The character [蠶/舟] sounds like cán or lǎn).
