Trivia[]
Etymology[]
- The English name, Gandharva Ville, combines the Sanskrit gandharva (Sanskrit: गन्धर्व) with the French word ville "city," making the name mean "Gandharva City." This is a reference to Gandharvanagara (Sanskrit: गन्धर्वनगर "city of the Gandharvas"), an illusory city that appears as a mirage but does not actually exist.[2] (See the below explanation of the original Chinese location name for additional context.)
- The 化城 Huàchéng in the Chinese name is derived from part of the seventh chapter in the Lotus Sutra, which sometimes translated into English as the Parable of the Phantom City (Chinese: 化城喻) or The Apparitional City. In it, the leader of a treasure-seeking group conjures an illusory city for the others to rest in when they become too tired and afraid to continue on their journey. After seeing they were well-rested, he dispels the illusion and urges them to continue towards their true destination.[3]
