月上女問舍利弗。言佛弟子當住何處。答曰。當住涅槃夫比丘既落髮披衣。梵云。室羅未尼。唐言。求寂滅洎受戒已名鄔波三鉢那唐言近圓。圓寂。皆涅槃故。釋子死之所歸即涅槃為果。

Candrottarā-dārikā asked Śāriputra: "Where should a disciple of the Buddha abide?" He answered: "They should abide in nirvāṇa." Now, after a monk shaves his hair and dons the robes, he is called in Sanskrit a śrāmaṇera, which in the language of the Tang means "seeking extinction." When he receives the precepts, he is called an upasampanna, which in the language of the Tang means "nearing perfection." Perfection and extinction are both nirvāṇa; therefore, where a Buddhist disciple returns upon death has nirvāṇa as its fruit.
