維摩經玄疏 5.13

5.13

第二、明修多羅有翻者，有師言「昔佛法初度，胡漢之語未通，故河西群學謂無翻也」。爾來經論度此，翻譯胡漢之語既通，修多羅定有翻也。但諸法師，各異傳聞，言「有翻」者，又成非一。今略出五翻不同：一，有師云「法本」；二，有師云此翻云「契」；三，有師言此翻言「綖」；四，有師翻云「善語教」；五，有師言此翻云「經」。

Second, clarifying that sūtra is translatable: some masters say, "Formerly, when the Buddha's Dharma first crossed over, the languages of the Hu and the Han were not yet understood, so the various scholars west of the Yellow River regarded it as untranslatable." Since then, sūtras and treatises have crossed over to here, and through translation the languages of the Hu and the Han have become understood, so sūtra is definitely translatable. However, the various Dharma masters had differing traditions, and those who say it is "translatable" have also made more than one [translation]. Now five different translations are briefly set forth: first, some masters say "root of dharmas"; second, some masters say it translates here as "tally"; third, some masters say it translates here as "thread"; fourth, some masters translate it as "teaching of good words"; fifth, some masters say it translates here as "jing" (warp/classic).
