補特伽羅（案梵本補此云數特伽此云趣羅此名取云數取趣謂數數往來諸趣也舊亦作弗伽羅翻名為入言捨天陰入人陰捨人陰入畜生陰近是也經中作福伽羅或言富伽羅又作富特伽耶梵音轉也譯者皆翻為人言六趣通名人也斯謬甚矣人者亦言有意似多思義有智慧故名為人也鬼畜無此何名人斯皆譯者之失也）。

> Pudgala (Examining the Sanskrit original: pu means "repeatedly," dga means "destinies," and la means "taking." It means "repeatedly taking destinies," referring to repeatedly going back and forth among the destinies. Older texts also wrote fugala, translating its name as "entering," saying that shedding heavenly aggregates one enters human aggregates, shedding human aggregates one enters animal aggregates, which is close to it. In the scriptures it is written fugala or fujiala, or futujiaye, which are dialectal variations of the Sanskrit. Translators all translated it as "human" \[ren\], saying that it is a general name for the six destinies. This is a great error. A "human" also implies having intent \[yi\], seeming to mean thinking much, possessing wisdom; hence one is called a "human." Ghosts and animals have no such thing; how could they be called "humans"? These are all errors of the translators).
