【耆婆】或云耆域，或名時縛迦。此云能活，又云故活。影堅王之子，善見庶兄，奈女所生。出胎即持針筒藥囊，其母惡之，即以白衣裹之，棄于巷中。時，無畏王乘車遙見，乃問之。有人答曰：「此小兒也。」又問死活耶？答云：「故活。」王即勅人，乳而養之，後還其母。《四分律》云：「耆婆初詣得叉尸羅國，姓阿提梨，字賓迦羅。而學醫道，經于七年。其師即便以一籠器，及掘草之具，令其於得叉尸羅國，面一由旬，求覓諸草，有不是藥者持來。耆婆如教，即於國內面一由旬，周竟求覓。所見草木，盡皆分別，無有草木非是藥者。師言：『汝今可去，醫道已成。我若死後，次即有汝。』」《耆婆經》云：「耆婆童子，於貨柴人所大柴束中，見有一木光明徹照，名為藥王。倚病人身，照見身中一切諸病。」

> \[Jīva\]: Also written Jīvaka (Qiyu or Shibojia). Translated as "able to live," also as "still alive." He was the son of King Bimbisāra, a half-brother of Ajātaśatru, born of Āmrapālī. Coming forth from the womb, he was already holding a needle-case and medicine pouch. His mother detested this, immediately wrapped him in white clothes, and abandoned him in an alleyway. At that time, Prince Abhaya, seeing him from afar while riding in a carriage, asked about him. Someone answered: "This is an infant." He further asked whether it was dead or alive? The reply was: "Still alive (jīva)." The prince immediately ordered people to nurse and raise him, and later returned him to his mother. The Sifen lü says: "When Jīva first went to the kingdom of Takṣaśilā, with the clan name Ātreya and the style name Piṅgala, he studied the art of medicine for seven years. His master then gave him a basket and a tool for digging herbs, commanding him to search within one yojana in all directions of Takṣaśilā for any herbs that were not medicinal and bring them back. Jīva, following instructions, searched completely all around within one yojana of the kingdom. All the grasses and trees he saw, he analyzed completely, and there was not a single grass or tree that was not medicinal. The master said: 'You may now go; your medical art is accomplished. When I die, next shall come you.'" The Jīvaka Sūtra says: "The youth Jīvaka, in a large bundle of firewood belonging to a firewood seller, saw a piece of wood radiating a piercingly clear light, called the King of Medicine. Holding it against a sick person's body, it illumined and revealed all the illnesses within the body."
