見閻浮提條。 Jambu，又曰剡浮，琰浮。舊稱閻浮。新稱贍部。譯曰穢。樹名。嘉祥之法華經義疏八曰：「閻浮者，此云穢。」善見律十七曰：「閻浮子，其形如沈苽大，紫色酢酣。」參照閻浮樹條。
瞻部 Jambu (at present the rose-apple, the Eugenia Jambolana), described as a lofty tree giving its name to 閻浮提 Jambudvīpa, 'one of the seven continents or rather large islands surrounding the mountain Meru; it is so named either from the Jambu trees abounding in it, or from an enormous Jambu tree on Mount Meru visible like a standard to the whole continent'; 'the central division of the world.' M.W. With Buddhists it is the southern of the four continents, shaped like a triangle resembling the triangular leaves of the Jambu tree, and called after a forest of such trees on Meru.
