【富樓那彌多羅尼子】《文句》云：「富樓那，翻滿願；彌多羅，翻慈；尼，女也。父於滿江禱梵天求子，正值江滿。又夢七寶器，盛滿中寶入母懷。母懷子，父願獲從，諸遂願故言滿願。彌多羅尼，翻慈行，亦云知識。四韋陀有此品，其母誦之，以此為名。」或名彌窒子，翻善知識。支謙譯《度無極經》名滿祝子，謂父於滿江禱梵天而得其子。《西域記》云：「布剌拏梅呾麗衍尼弗呾羅，唐言滿慈子。舊訛略云彌多羅尼子。」

[Pūrṇamaitrāyaṇīputra] The Wenju says: "Pūrṇa translates as 'Fulfilled Wish'; Maitrī translates as 'Benevolence'; ayāṇī indicates 'daughter'. His father prayed to Brahmā for a son at the full river when the river was completely full. He also dreamed that a vessel of the seven treasures, full of jewels, entered the mother's womb. When the mother conceived the child, the father's wish was granted; because all wishes were fulfilled, he was called 'Fulfilled Wish'. Maitrāyaṇī translates as 'Benevolent Practice', and also as 'Spiritual Friend'. There is such a chapter in the four Vedas, and his mother recited it, so he was named after it." He is also named Mizhizi, translating as 'Good Spiritual Friend'. Zhi Qian's translation of the Duwuji jing names him Manzhuzi ('Son of Fulfilled Prayer'), meaning that the father prayed to Brahmā at the full river and obtained this son. The Xiyu ji says: "Pūrṇamaitrāyaṇīputra is in Tang speech Mancizi ('Son of Fulfilled Benevolence'). Formerly it was erroneously abbreviated as Mituoluonizi."
