大毘婆沙論云。梵云未奴沙。以能用意思惟。觀察所作事故。或多憍慢。或能寂。靜意故名人○阿毘曇論云。何故人道名摩㝹沙。此有八義。一聰明。二為勝。三意微細。四正覺。五智慧增上。六能別虛實。七聖道正器。八聰明業所主故。

The Mahāvibhāṣā-śāstra states: "In Sanskrit, it is called manuṣya. Because they are able to reflect with the mind and observe what they do, or because they have much arrogance, or because they are able to quiet and pacify the mind, they are called humans (ren)." The Abhidharma-śāstra states: "Why is the human path called manuṣya? It has eight meanings: first, intelligence; second, superiority; third, subtlety of mind; fourth, correct awareness; fifth, superior wisdom; sixth, the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood; seventh, being proper vessels for the noble path; eighth, being governed by deeds of intelligence."
