【阿那婆婁吉低輸】《文句》名婆婁吉低稅。別行玄：「此云觀世音。能所圓融，有無兼暢，照窮正性，察其本末，故稱觀也。世音者，是所觀之境也。萬象流動，隔別不同，類音殊唱，俱蒙離苦，菩薩弘慈，一時普救，皆令解脫，故曰觀世音。」應法師云：「阿婆盧吉低舍婆羅，此云觀世自在。雪山已來經本，云娑婆羅，則譯為音。《無量清淨平等覺經》名廅樓亘，此云光世音。」《西域記》云：「阿縛盧枳多伊濕伐羅，唐言觀自在，合字連聲，梵語如上。分大散音，即阿縛盧枳多，譯曰觀。伊濕伐羅，譯曰自在。舊譯為光世音，或世自在，皆訛謬也。」唐奘三藏云：「觀有不住有，觀空不住空；聞名不惑於名，見相不沒於相。心不能動，境不能隨；動隨不亂其真，可謂無礙智慧也。」

【Anapaboloujidishu】(Avalokiteśvara) The Wenju calls it Boloujidishui. The Biexing xuan [says]: "This means Guanshiyin (Perceiver of the World's Sounds). Subject and object are fully integrated, existence and non-existence are both unimpeded; illuminating to the utmost the true nature, investigating its root and branch, it is therefore called 'Observing' (guan). 'The world's sounds' (shiyin) are the realm that is observed. The myriad phenomena flow and change, separated and distinct; their various sounds and different cries all receive release from suffering; the bodhisattva's vast compassion universally saves them at once, causing all to attain liberation; hence he is called Guanshiyin." Master Ying says: "Avalokiteśvara: here translated as Guanshi zizai (Perceiver of the World at Ease). In the texts of sūtras brought from the Snowy Mountains onward, it says savara, which is translated as 'sound' (yin). The Wuliang qingjing pingdengjue jing calls it Alougen, translated here as Guangshiyin (Illuminator of the World's Sounds)." The Xiyu ji says: "Avalokiteśvara, in the language of the Tang is Guanzizai (Contemplating at Ease). Combining the characters into a continuous sound, the Sanskrit is as above. Dividing into the broad sounds: avalokita is translated as 'observing' (guan); īśvara is translated as 'at ease' (zizai). The older translations as Guangshiyin or Shizizai are both erroneous." Tripiṭaka Master Tang Xuanzang said: "Observing existence, he does not abide in existence; observing emptiness, he does not abide in emptiness. Hearing names, he is not confused by names; seeing forms, he is not drowned in forms. The mind cannot be stirred, realms cannot follow; stirring and following do not disturb his truth: this may truly be called unhindered wisdom."
