三彌勒經疏 1.199

1.199

言舍利者身也，弗者子也，從母為名也。此人英慧超類，性來聞一解千，故名大智，是彰內德也。能者，善巧別言，謂善隨物機巧宣法化故。輪者，見道也。法者，利人也。轉者，度他相續故。隨者，正轉於前。鶖子受唱於後，故名為隨也，是彰外德也。大將者，內懷神謀、外揚威力平怨，故名大將。譬舍利弗，內懷神力、外揚辨才，降伏煩惱怨故，名大將也。

As for *Śāri*, it means body; *putra* means son; he takes his name from his mother. This man's superior wisdom surpassed his kind; by nature, hearing one thing he understood a thousand, hence he is called "Great Wisdom"—this illustrates his internal virtue. "Skillful" (*neng*) is an alternative expression for clever; that is, he skillfully follows the capacities of beings to deftly proclaim Dharma and conversion. The "wheel" is the path of seeing. The "Dharma" is benefiting others. "Turning" is due to the uninterrupted continuation of delivering others. "Following" means that the direct turning takes place before him, and Śāriputra receives and repeats it behind him, hence it is called "following"—this illustrates his external virtue. A "great general" is one who internally harbors divine strategy and externally displays majestic power to quell foes, hence he is called a "great general." By analogy, Śāriputra internally harbors divine powers and externally displays eloquence to subdue the foes of affliction; therefore, he is called a "great general."
