Accordingly, three brothers heard speak of three courtesans (e.g., 膧尘谤补辫腻濒颈). Hearing everyone praise the incomparable beauty of these three women, the three brothers thought of them day and night and could not get them out of their minds. In dreams, they possessed them. Once awakened, they said to themselves: 鈥淭hese women did not come to us and we did not go to these women; nevertheless, pleasure was produced. Because of them we woke up. Are all dharmas like that?鈥�
2) 膧尘谤补辫腻濒墨 (啶嗋ぎ啷嵿ぐ啶ぞ啶侧) is the name of a woman who was born of exudation, according to Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter XIV).鈥擝orn of exudation, for example, Yen lo p鈥檕 li (膧尘谤补辫腻濒墨), chief courtesan (惫别艣测腻驳谤补) who gave birth to a cakravartin king. Note: 膧尘谤补辫腻濒墨 was born from the stem of a banana tree as is told at length in the Nai nin k鈥檌 yu yin yuan king, T 553 (tr. Chavannes, Contes, III, p. 325鈥�329); Schiefner-Ralston, Tibetan Tales, p. 85. 鈥� But 膧尘谤补辫腻濒墨 is the mother of J墨vaka, not of a cakravartin king.
3) 膧尘谤补辫腻濒墨 (啶嗋ぎ啷嵿ぐ啶ぞ啶侧) is the name of a courtesan (惫别艣测补) according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter XXVIII).鈥�A fan p鈥檕 lo is a rare and defective transcription for 膧尘谤补辫腻濒颈. 膧尘谤补辫腻濒颈 (in P膩li, Ambap膩li) was the rich courtesan of Vai艣膩li who, shortly before the Buddha鈥檚 death, went to visit him in great pomp, provided a princely reception for him and gave the Sa峁単ha the Ambap膩livana; this event is told in the 蝉奴迟谤补蝉. The meeting between Bimbis膩ra and 膧尘谤补辫腻濒墨, to which the Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra alludes here, is told at length in T 553 and 554 (l.c.).
膧尘谤补辫腻濒颈 was born miraculously in the flower of a mango-tree belonging to a br膩hman in Vai艣膩l墨. The br膩hman adopted 膧尘谤补辫腻濒颈 and made her a courtesan. Seven kings disputed over the favors of the young lady; Bimbas膩ra, king of Magadha, even though he was at war with the Licchavi of Vai艣膩l墨, surreptitiously entered the city, penetrated into the tower where 膧尘谤补辫腻濒颈 was shut up and amused himself with her for a week. 膧尘谤补辫腻濒墨 bore him a son who later became the famous physician J墨vaka.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
