1.64

[Śākiya] The Wenju says: "Śākiya is a noble family name. This name is an abbreviation; correctly it is Sheyiqiya (Śākiya). The Benxing jing says: 'Because they lived in a grove of dense and leafy branches of great śāka trees, they were therefore named Śākiya.' This is establishing a family name based on the place; hence the kingdom is named Śākiya."
