13.9

Upāsaka (Sanskrit. The old translations say youbapojia or youbose, which are both erroneous abbreviations. In the Tang language one says 'man who approaches goodness'; the Vinaya of the Sarvāstivāda school translates 'man who attends upon services', also 'man who dwells near', meaning one who dwells near and serves the Three Jewels. Those that say 'pure faithful gentleman' or 'man dwelling in good' are semantic translations).
