尋香城(古譯名乾闥婆城。唐梵雖殊其實一也。瑜伽論云音樂在地屬東方持國天王常與上界諸天奏樂以業感力故。但諸天思憶樂時。此尋香神即感遙聞彼天香氣。尋香赴彼。奏諸音樂。或名食香神。案此天所住城郭或居須彌層級或在七金山上。或居空界或處人間。其城郭多於平澤海濱。或於空曠砂漠絕人境處。化現似城遠望分明。近觀即滅。如波浮雲陽氣之類)。
A city of the Gandharvas—also called a Gandharva city in ancient translations. Though the names differ between Chinese and Sanskrit, they refer to the same thing. The Yogacara-bhumi Sastra explains that the music of the Gandharvas belongs to the East, under the rule of Dhrtarastra, the Heavenly King. These beings constantly play music for the celestial realms, driven by the force of their karma. When the heavenly beings yearn for music, the Gandharvas sense the fragrance of those gods from afar and follow the scent to arrive and perform. For this reason, they are also known as "scent-eaters." The cities where these beings reside can be found on the levels of Mount Sumeru, on the seven golden mountains, in the space realms, or among human dwellings. Most often, these city-like apparitions appear on vast plains, along seashores, or in desolate deserts far from human settlement. From a distance they appear clear and real, complete with city walls and towers, but when approached, they vanish instantly—like bubbles, drifting clouds, or heat haze.
