大威德陀羅尼經云。於生死迷惑流轉。住不正道故。名凡夫。梵云婆羅。隋言毛道。謂行心不定。猶如輕毛。隨風東西故。又有二種。一嬰兒凡夫。謂無智惠故。二愚暗凡夫頑鈍不可教故○佛性論云。凡夫以身見。為性。

The Daweide tuoluoni jing states: "Because they wander confused in cyclic existence and abide in improper paths, they are called ordinary beings (pṛthagjana). In Sanskrit, it is called bāla; in the language of Sui, it is called 'the path of hair', meaning that their mental actions are unsettled, just like light hair blown east and west with the wind. Furthermore, there are two kinds: first, infant-like ordinary beings, meaning those lacking wisdom; second, foolish and blind ordinary beings, who are stubborn, obtuse, and incapable of being taught." The Foxing lun states: "Ordinary beings have the view of selfhood as their nature."
