說無垢稱經疏 3.228

3.228

贊曰：下第四段，初命問也。梵云摩訶蘇補底，此云大善現，應之佛世，善能現生。或宿發大願，善能現前，了達空義。或舍衛城中有大長者，名曰拘留，祈天而得。初生現時，其室空寂。相師占之，名為善現。現者生也。生時室中一切空寂，表其長大善解空義，故名善現。

Commentary: Below is the fourth section, which begins by ordering the inquiry. In Sanskrit, Mahāsubhūti; here translated as "Great Shanxian" (Well Manifested). Matching the Buddha's era, he was well able to manifest his birth. Or, having made a great vow in the past, he was well able to manifest before him, penetrating the meaning of emptiness. Or, in the city of Śrāvastī there was a great elder named Kuru who obtained him by praying to heaven. When he was first born, his room was empty and quiet. A physiognomist divined it and named him Shanxian (Subhūti). "Xian" (manifest) means to be born. Because when he was born everything in the room was empty and quiet, this symbolized that upon growing up he would be skilled in understanding the meaning of emptiness; hence he was named Shanxian.
