囉弭多（唐言彼岸到今𢌞文云到彼岸如上所說雖是本正梵語略音已行難為改正般若波羅蜜多久傳於世愚智共聞今之所論為造經音解其文字及釋梵語不可不具說也但欲廣其學者知見耳實非改易經文已下諸經中有正梵語及論文字是非皆同此例取捨今古任隨本志）。

-ramitā (in the Tang language, "having reached the other shore"; now rearranged in syntax as "reaching the other shore" [daobiyan]. Although the above represents the original and correct Sanskrit, the abbreviated pronunciation is already widespread and difficult to rectify. Since "Boreboluomiduo" has circulated in the world for a long time and is heard by both the foolish and the wise, what is discussed here is done for the purpose of compiling sound-glosses for the scripture, explaining its characters, and interpreting the Sanskrit; hence it cannot but be fully stated. It is solely intended to broaden the learning and insight of students, and certainly not to alter the scriptural text. In subsequent scriptures, where correct Sanskrit and debates over character correctness occur, all follow this precedent; choosing between the contemporary and the ancient is left to the reader's discretion).
