維摩經玄疏 5.4

5.4

第一、釋修多羅，言無翻者，但外國有多含之語，即是修多羅名含五義，豈可但用「經」字往翻！故開善法師云：「『經』非正翻，但以經字，代修多羅也。」至如此方周、孔聖教，稱之為經；外國聖教，此土宜用「經」字代也。所言修多羅名含五義者：一，法本；二，微發；三，涌泉；四，繩墨；五，結鬘。

First, explaining that sūtra is untranslatable: foreign words contain multiple meanings, meaning the name sūtra contains five senses; how could one merely use the character "jing" to translate it! Therefore Dharma Master Kaishan said: "'Jing' is not a proper translation; it merely substitutes the character jing for sūtra." Just as in this land the sacred teachings of the Duke of Zhou and Confucius are called jing, for the sacred teachings of foreign lands it is appropriate for this land to substitute the character jing. What are called the five senses contained in the name sūtra are: first, root of dharmas; second, subtle unfolding; third, bubbling spring; fourth, marking-cord; fifth, garland.
