25.23

頗梨(正云頗胝迦此云水玉狀似水精有赤有白大論云過千年氷化為頗梨珠未詳虛實也)。

'Crystal' [sphaṭika / 頗梨] (Correctly called sphaṭika; here translated as 'water jade'. In appearance it resembles rock crystal, and comes in red and white. The Mahāprajñāpāramitōpadeśa says: 'Ice over a thousand years old transforms into crystal beads,' but whether this is true or false has not been investigated).
