| Abstract | In the third and final volume of his monumental comparative study of the biography of the
Buddha, André Bareau examined the passage in which Ānanda pleads with the Buddha not to
die in Kuśinagara, but rather in a more illustrious town. Comparing the names of such towns
presented in seven different versions of the text, Bareau considered the list of names found in
the translation of the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra by Zhi Qian 支謙 (般泥䈥經, T6) to be both
unusually short and aberrant in content. This paper presents a detailed examination of each of
the names given in Zhi Qian’s translation, showing that there was a consistent method
governing his renditions (both transcriptions and translations) and that two of the names not
recognized by Bareau can now be identified. This places Zhi Qian’s version of the text within
the mainstream of parinirvāṇa narratives, while casting new light on Zhi Qian’s translation
techniques.
