智度論云。貧有二種。一財貧。二功德法貧○瑜伽論云。出家品。智貧。財貧○指歸云。道則通物之稱也。屬三乘聖人所證之道也。謂我寡少此道。故曰貧道（僧史略云。漢魏兩晉沙門對君王。亦只稱貧道。如南齊時帝問王儉曰。先輩沙門對帝何稱。正殿還坐否。儉對曰。漢魏佛法未具。不見紀傳自偽國稍盛皆稱貧道。亦聞預坐）。

The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa states: "There are two kinds of poverty: 1. poverty of wealth; and 2. poverty of the dharmas of merit and virtue." The Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra states: "In the chapter on renunciation: poverty of wisdom and poverty of wealth." The Zhigui states: "The 'Way' is a general designation for all things, pertaining to the Way realized by the noble ones of the three vehicles. Stating that I am deficient in this Way, I therefore call myself 'this impoverished follower of the Way' (the Sengshilüe states: 'In the Han, Wei, and Western and Eastern Jin dynasties, śramaṇas addressing monarchs also simply called themselves píndào. For instance, in the Southern Qi, the Emperor asked Wang Jian: "How did former śramaṇas address the Emperor? Did they also sit in the main palace hall?" Jian replied: "In the Han and Wei, the Buddhadharma was not yet complete, and this is not seen in records and biographies. Since the illegitimate states grew somewhat prosperous, they all called themselves píndào, and we have also heard that they were permitted to sit"')."
