【舍利弗】《大論》云：「有婆羅論義師，名婆陀羅王（云云）。婦生一女，眼似舍利鳥眼，即名此女為舍利（云云）。眾人以其舍利所生，皆共名之為舍利弗。弗，秦言子也。」《涅槃》云：「如舍利弗母名舍利，因母立字，故名舍利弗。」又翻身子。《文句》云：「此女好形身，身之所生，故言身子。亦云鶖子。母眼明淨，如鶖（七由）鷺（來故）眼。」

[Śāriputra] The Dazhidu lun says: "There was a brāhmaṇa master of disputation named King Bhadra (and so forth). His wife gave birth to a daughter whose eyes resembled those of a śāri bird, so this daughter was named Śāri (and so forth). Because he was born of this Śāri, the crowd together called him Śāriputra. Putra is Qin for 'son'." The Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] says: "Just as Śāriputra's mother was named Śāri, his name was established from his mother, hence he was called Śāriputra." It is also translated as Shenzi ('Son of Body'). The Wenju says: "This woman had a fine physical form (shen), and being born of her body, he was therefore called Shenzi. He is also called Qiuzi ('Son of the Heron'). The mother's eyes were clear and bright, like the eyes of a heron (qiu-lu)."
