The courtesan Ambapālī heard: “The Gracious One, it seems, has
reached Vesālī and is living near Vesālī in my Mango Wood.” 64
Then the courtesan Ambapālī, after having (many) great and august
vehicles prepared, and mounting (those) great and august vehicles,
departed with those great and august vehicles from Vesālī, and after
approaching by vehicle to her pleasure garden as far as the ground for
vehicles (would allow), and descending from the vehicles, she
approached the Gracious One by foot, and after approaching and
worshipping the Gracious One, she sat down on one side. While the
courtesan Ambapālī was sitting on one side the Gracious One

according to the Commentary she was born spontaneously in a mango
wood (perhaps this one?), and hence acquired the name. Courtesans like
Ambapāli were often very rich as we can see from the description of her
vehicles and pleasure garden.
