說戒正儀篇第十（布薩，此云淨住。《出要律儀》云：是憍薩羅國語。六卷《泥洹》云：布薩者，長養。二義：一清淨戒住，二增長功德。《雜含》云布薩陀婆；若正本音，優補陀婆，優言斷，補陀婆言增長，國語不同；亦呼為集、為知、為宜、為同、為共住、為轉、為常也。《三千威儀》云：布薩者，秦言淨住；義言長養，又言和合也。《俱舍論》名八戒，云布薩護也。《明了》言：在心名護，在身口名戒也。《律》云布薩法一處，名〈布薩犍度〉，即說戒也。）

Chapter 10: The Correct Rite for Upoṣadha Recitation (Poṣadha, translated here as pure dwelling. The Chuyao lüyi states: this is the language of the country of Kośala. The six-fascicle Nirvāṇa Sūtra states: poṣadha means nourishment. There are two meanings: first, abiding in pure precepts; second, increasing merit. The Saṃyuktāgama says posathabha; if based on the correct original sound, it is upoṣadha: upa means severance, and vasatha means nourishment; languages of different countries vary; it is also called assembly, knowing, suitability, identicality, co-dwelling, turning, or constancy. The Sanqian weiyi states: poṣadha in the language of Qin means pure dwelling; in meaning it denotes nourishment, and also harmony. The Abhidharmakośabhāṣya names the eight precepts, calling poṣadha protection. The Vinayavibhāṣā states: in the mind it is called protection, in body and speech it is called precepts. The Vinaya refers to the poṣadha method in one place as the 'Upoṣadha-skandhaka', which is the recitation of precepts.)
