維摩經玄疏 5.3

5.3

第二、正釋通名者，即是釋「經」之一字也。若依天竺語，佛教之首，通標修多羅，或云修單羅，或云修妬路，例如此土楚夏方言。修多羅者，既是外國之語，古今諸師解釋有異，或言無翻，或言有翻。今釋此義，略為五意：第一，明無翻；第二，明有翻；第三，通和有翻無翻；第四，歷法解釋；第五，約觀心。

Second, properly explaining the common title: that is, explaining the single character "jing" (sūtra). If we rely on the Indian language, the beginning of the Buddhist teachings is commonly marked as sūtra (xiuduoluo), or xiudanluo, or xiudulu, just as in this land there are regional dialects of Chu and Xia. As for "sūtra" (sūtra), since it is a foreign word, the explanations of ancient and modern masters differ: some say it is untranslatable, while others say it is translatable. Now, in explaining this meaning, there are briefly five senses: first, clarifying that it is untranslatable; second, clarifying that it is translatable; third, harmonizing and synthesizing the translatable and untranslatable; fourth, interpreting by traversing dharmas; fifth, based on contemplating the mind.
