【衛世師】正云鞞崽(所皆)。此云無勝。優樓僧佉,計六遍造,但眼根火多,乃至身根風多。文見《金七十論》。《輔行》云:「優樓僧佉,此云休留僊。其人晝藏山谷,以造經書。夜則游行,說法教化。猶如彼鳥,故得此名,亦名眼足。其人在佛前八百年出世,亦得五通,說論十萬偈,名衛世師。」

[Vaiśeṣika (衛世師)] Properly *Vaiśeṣika* (鞞崽). This is translated as "insurpassable". Ulūka-Sāṃkhya posited that six [categories] pervade creation, but the visual faculty has an abundance of fire, up to the bodily faculty having an abundance of wind. The text is seen in the *Suvarṇasaptati*. The *Fuxing* says: "Ulūka-Sāṃkhya is translated here as 'Owl Ascetic' (Ulūka). That person hid in mountain valleys during the day to compose scriptures and treatises. At night he wandered about, expounding the teachings and converting people. Just like that bird [the owl], he obtained this name; he is also named Akṣapāda (Eye-Foot). That person appeared in the world eight hundred years before the Buddha, also attained the five supernormal knowledges, and expounded a treatise in one hundred thousand verses, named *Vaiśeṣika*."
