3.51

【摩竭提】此云善勝，又云無惱。《西域記》云：「摩竭陀，舊曰摩伽陀，又曰摩竭提，皆訛也。中印度境。」《文句記》云：「此云不害。劫初已來，無刑害故。至阿闍世，截指為刑，後自齧指痛，復息此刑。佛當生其地，故吉兆預彰，所以先置不害之名，亦名無害。」《文句》曰：「此云天羅，天羅者王名，以王名國，城名王舍。」

[Magadha] Here translated as 'Good and Superior', and also 'Without Distress'. The Record of the Western Regions says: "Magadha, formerly called Mojiatuo or Mojieti, both corrupt. It lies within the borders of Central India." The Wenju ji says: "Here translated as 'Non-harming'. From the beginning of the kalpa onward, there were no corporal punishments or injury there. When it came to Ajātaśatru, cutting off fingers was instituted as punishment; later, biting his own finger and feeling the pain, he brought an end to this punishment again. Because the Buddha was to be born in that land, auspicious omens were manifested in advance, which is why it was previously given the name Non-harming; it is also named Harmless." The Wenju says: "Here translated as 'Heavenly Snare'. Heavenly Snare was the name of a king; the country was named after the king, and the city was named Rājagṛha."
