【優曇鉢羅】此云瑞應。《般泥洹經》云:「閻浮提內有尊樹王,名優曇鉢,有實無華。優曇鉢樹有金華者,世乃有佛。」《施設論》云:「繞瞻部洲有輪王路,廣一踰繕那。無輪王時,海水所覆,無能見者。若轉輪王出現于世,大海水減一踰繕那,此輪王路,爾乃出現,金沙彌布,眾寶莊嚴,旃檀香水以灑其上。轉輪聖王巡幸洲渚,與四種兵俱游此路,此華方生。新云烏曇鉢羅。」

[Udumbara]: Translated here as "auspicious omen." The Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra states: "In Jambudvīpa there is an exalted king of trees named udumbara, which bears fruit without flowers. If an udumbara tree bears golden flowers, only then does a Buddha appear in the world." The Prajñaptiśāstra says: "Circling Jambudvīpa there is a road for the wheel-turning king, one yojana wide. When there is no wheel-turning king, it is covered by the ocean waters, and no one can see it. If a wheel-turning king appears in the world, the ocean water recedes by one yojana, and this road for the wheel-turning king then appears, completely strewn with golden sand, adorned with various gems, and sprinkled with candana-scented water. When the wheel-turning sage king tours the continents and islands, travelling along this road together with his fourfold army, this flower then blooms." The new transcription is wudanboluo (udumbara).
