沙門那（梵語也此義譯云乏道沙門名乏那名道僧稱云貧道者即謙退自卑之辭也亦更有多義也）。

Śramaṇa (in the Sanskrit language; in this [Chinese] sense it is translated as lacking the Path; śramaṇa means "lacking", and na means "Path"; when monks refer to themselves as "pauper of the Path" [pindao], it is an expression of modesty and self-deprecation; it also has many other meanings).
