a great sona
菩提


Explanation:
佛陀证悟是在菩提树下,不过对应的英文并不是great sona,是Bodhi Tree。你搞错了吧。Sona有说是佛陀的女弟子。也有别的链接说是某王子,总之应该是人名。

阿勃勒


Explanation:
这个树确定是菩提树的一种,我找到了它的学名“Oryxylum Indicarum”,中文无法确定,下面是寻找历程,供参考:

“The Early Buddhas of the Digha Nikaya and the Buddhavamsa”(http://dharma2grace.net/encyclopedia/earlybuddhas.html)中提到,在Sona Tree下证悟的两位佛是Paduma和Narada。

在dhammawiki的菩提树页面(http://www.dhammawiki.com/index.php?title=Bodhi_Tree)中列出了The Bodhi Trees of the 28 Buddhas,可以查到Paduma和Narada的树为“Maha-sona tree”,这种树的学名叫“Oryxylum Indicarum”,一开始我以为是“木蝴蝶”,学名叫做“Orxylum Indicum”,孟加拉文就叫“Sona”,但是后来发现两种树不一样。The Bodhi Trees of the 28 Buddhas的表格中也提到了“木蝴蝶”,对应的佛是Kondanna。用“Oryxylum Indicarum”做关键词在Google中搜索,返回的均是dhammawiki以及类似的页面,找不到有用的信息。

另外,“Significant Buddhist trees (not Bodhi Tree)”(http://www.dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.php?t=16314)这个页面中称,Sona就是“阿勃勒”,又叫“黄金雨”、“腊肠树”,但这种树的学名是“Cassia fistula”,孟加拉文中称“sonalu”,这个说法跟前面无法对应。
