mallikā, 摩利; 末羅 (1) jasminum zambac, M. W., which suggests the 茉莉花, i. e. the Chinese jasmine; according to Eitel it is the narrowleaved nyctanthes (with globular berries 柰); the flower, now called kastūrī (musk) because of its odour. By the Fanyimingyi 翻譯名義 it is styled the 鬘花 chaplet flower, as its flowers may be formed into a chaplet. (2) A concoction of various fruits mixed with water offered in worship.

A Dictionary of Chinese Buddhist Terms, William Edward Soothill and Lewis Hodous

末利===（植物）Ma%llika%，花名。末利又名摩利，末羅。譯言鬘，因其花可以造鬘，故名。勝鬘賓窟上本曰：「末利，亦云摩利，此是華名。有江南寺安法師，多所博識。云：此華色白而形小，此間無物以翻之，猶存末利之稱。」慧苑音義上曰：「末利者，花名也。其花黃金色，然非末利之言即翻為黃色。」
