The full Chinese transliteration is 富樓那彌多羅尼子. The son of the teacher of Suddhodana, king of Kapilavastu. His name means "son of Maitrāyanī," as his mother Maitrāyanī was also one of Śākyamuni's early disciples, and is said to have delivered the first sermon in Sarnath after the passing of Śākyamuni. He appears as one of the interlocutors in the Śūraṃgama-sūtra 首楞嚴經. Alternative renderings of his name are 滿慈子 (T 26.1.430a1) or 滿願子 (T 125.2.734a20). Also 滿祝子; 滿見子; [Below, Soothill seems to confuse this Pūrṇa with 富留那 from Sunāparanta] (Skt. purāṇa, pūraṇa) [resp. Charles Muller, Anālayo; ref. Hirakawa, JEBD, Yokoi, Iwanami]
