2.32

[Nanda and Upananda] The *Wenju* states: 'Nanda translates here as Joy. Up[ananda] translates here as Good. The two brothers always protected the kingdom of Magadha, providing rain in its proper season so that the kingdom knew no famine years. King Bimbisāra held an assembly once a year, and the common people rejoiced on hearing it, from which they got their names.' Ci'en says: 'The first is named Joy, the next is named Worthy Joy. These two brothers responded well to people's minds: winds did not whistle through the branches, and rains did not break the clods. At first they brought people joy, and later their nature was also virtuous, causing joy and being virtuous, hence they were named after this.' The *Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra* says: 'There were dragon king brothers, one named Giri and the second named Agrahara, who brought rain in its proper season.'
