舍利弗（具云奢唎補怛羅言奢唎者此云鶖鷺鳥也補怛羅者此云予也此尊者母眼黑白分明轉動流似鶖鷺眼故時共號為奢唎也其尊者依母得名故云鶖鷺子舊翻為身子者謬也梵本中呼身為設利羅故知懸別）。

Śāriputra (舍利弗: Fully termed Śāriputra (奢唎補怛羅). 'Śāri' translates here as heron; 'putra' translates here as son. The mother of this venerable one had eyes with sharply distinct black and white, darting and moving like the eyes of a heron; therefore everyone of the time called her Śāri. The venerable one was named after his mother, hence 'Son of the Heron'. The old translation as 'Shenzi' (Son of the Body) is erroneous. In Sanskrit texts, the physical body is called śarīra (設利羅); hence we know they are completely distinct).
