有情（梵言薩埵薩者此云有埵此言情故言有情言眾生者案梵本僕呼膳那此云眾生語名別也故從本譯之也）。

Youqing 有情 (sentient beings: in Sanskrit sattva; sat means here 'having' [or being], tva means here 'sentiment' [or sentient nature], hence it is said 'sentient beings' [youqing]. As for the term zhongsheng 眾生 [living beings], examining the Sanskrit text it is puruṣa [or pudgala / poṣaṇa / prajā], which here means 'living beings'; the words and terms are distinct, hence it is translated following the Sanskrit original).
