次造塔中，初科；《雜心》中，初示名。舍利，梵語訛略，具云室利羅；此翻為身，即人之遺身，或碎身，或全身；髮爪灰骨，通號舍利；然舍利及塔，名通凡聖；今明造立，多是佛塔，亦通餘聖。無名支提，謂安形像；故下，釋云，廟，貌也。塔或下，翻釋。塔婆、偷婆，亦皆訛略，《經音義》云：正言窣覩波，義翻方墳，翻高顯處（以聳出故），或云大聚，或云聚相（累物成故）。

Next, in building stūpas: in the first section; in the Samyuktābhidharma-hṛdaya, it first shows the name. 'Śarīra' is an erroneous abbreviation of Sanskrit, which fully is śarīra; this translates as 'body,' which is a person's relic-body, either broken relics or a whole body; hair, nails, ash, and bones are all generally called śarīra; however, the names śarīra and stūpa apply to both ordinary persons and sages; here, in explaining construction, they are mostly Buddha stūpas, but also apply to other sages. 'Those without relics are caityas,' meaning where images are enshrined; hence it explains below: 'Miào (shrine) means mào (appearance).' Below, 'stūpa or' translates and explains. 'Tǎpó' and 'tōupó' are also erroneous abbreviations; the Pronunciation and Meaning of the Scriptures says: 'Properly it is called stūpa; its meaning translates as square mound, or translates as a high and prominent place (because it towers upward), or it is called a great accumulation, or the mark of an accumulation (because it is formed by piling up objects).'
