【須達多】亦云修達多，或婆須達多。《西域記》云：「唐言善施，或名樂施。舊曰須達，訛也。正名蘇達多，勝軍王大臣，仁而聰敏，積而能散，賑乏濟貧，哀孤䘏老。時美其德，號給孤獨。」《孟子》曰：「老而無妻曰鰥（古頑），老而無夫曰寡，老而無子曰獨，幼而無父曰孤。此四者，天下之窮民而無告者。」今此長者，給濟孤獨之人，名給孤獨。

[Sudatta]: Also written Xiudatuo, or Posuxidatuo. The Xiyu ji says: "In the language of the Tang, it means 'Good Giver' (Shanshe), or 'Delighting in Giving' (Leshe). The old transcription Suda was an error; the correct name is Sudatta. He was a great minister of King Prasenajit, benevolent and astute, able to disperse what he accumulated, relieving the destitute and aiding the poor, pitying the solitary and assisting the aged. His contemporaries praised his virtue and titled him 'Anāthapiṇḍada' (Provider to the Destitute)." Mencius says: "An old man without a wife is called widower (guan); an old woman without a husband is called widow (gua); an old person without children is called solitary (du); a youth without a father is called orphan (gu). These four are the destitute and helpless people of the world." Now this elder provided for and aided destitute and solitary people; hence his name, Provider to the Destitute (Jigudu).
