【阿若憍陳如】亦名俱隣。《法華疏》云：「阿若，名也。此翻已知，或言無知。無知者，非無所知，乃是知無耳。又翻為解。」《楞嚴》云：「我初稱解等，具云解本際。」孤山云：「以第一解法者也。憍陳如，姓也。此翻火器，婆羅門種。其先事火，從此命族。」

[Ājñātakauṇḍinya] Also called Kulin. The Fahua shu says: "Ājñāta is a personal name. Here translated as 'Already Known', or said to be 'Without Knowledge'. 'Without Knowledge' does not mean having no knowledge; it is knowing nothingness. It is also translated as 'Understanding'." The Śūraṅgama [Sūtra] says: "I first came to be called 'Understanding' and so forth; in full, it is 'Understanding the Original Limit'." Gushan says: "It is because he was the first to understand the Dharma. Kauṇḍinya is a clan name. Here translated as 'Fire Vessel', a brāhmaṇa lineage. Their ancestors worshipped fire, and took their clan name from this."
