佛說佛名經 17.49

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [17.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.17.49)

佛告比丘：「若干微塵分可知其數，然現今在世同名釋迦牟尼佛入涅槃不可數知。母同名摩訶摩耶，父同名輸頭檀王，城同名迦毘羅，第一聲聞弟子同名舍利弗、目揵連，侍者弟子同名阿難陀，何況種種異名？

> The Buddha told the bhikṣu: "The parts of those many fine dust motes could be known, yet the Buddhas of the same name Śākyamuni who are presently in the world and have entered parinirvāṇa cannot be known by counting—their mothers all named Mahāmāyā, their fathers all named King Śuddhodana, their cities all named Kapilavastu, their foremost śrāvaka disciples all named Śāriputra and Maudgalyāyana, and their attendant disciples all named Ānanda—how much more so for those of various different names!"
