【鉢摩羅伽】《大論》：「此云赤光珠。」《佛地論》云：「赤蟲所出，或珠體名為赤珠。」《智論》云：「真珠出魚腹中、蛇腦中。」《漢書》云：「珠蚌中陰精，隨月陰盈虛。」

[Padmarāga] The Da zhidu lun states: 'Here translated as red-light pearl.' The Fodi lun states: 'Produced from red insects, or the jewel itself is named red pearl.' The Dazhidu lun states: 'Genuine pearls come from fish bellies and serpent brains.' The Hanshu states: 'Pearls are the yin essence inside oysters, waxing and waning with the phases of the moon.'
