3.38

[Thāna] Here translated as "Place." Paramārtha says: "There are two kinds of dwelling places: first, the place of sphere of activity, the realm of travel, for converting laypeople; second, the place of reliance, for governing the monastic community, which is the Jeta Grove." The Vibhāṣā says: "Mentioning Śrāvastī informs those far away, as the country is general; mentioning the Jeta Grove informs those nearby, as the grove is specific."
