採菽氏 [cai shu shi]—Cǎi Shū Shì — This is a translated name for the Buddhist disciple Moggallāna (目乾連 [mu gan lian]). Huìlín Yīnyì (慧琳音義 [hui lin yin yi]) Volume 6 states: "Cǎi Shū Shì is an ancient translation (古譯 [gu yi]) from Sanskrit (梵語 [fan yu]), referring to Dà Mùgānlián (大目乾連 [da mu gan lian]), which is a corrupted and inaccurate abbreviation. The correct Sanskrit (梵語 [fan yu]) is Móhēmòtègāluó (摩訶沒特伽羅 [mo he mei te jia luo]). In Tang (唐 [tang]) Dynasty Chinese, it was called Dà Cǎi Shū Shì (大 [da]), popularly known as Lùdòuzi (菉豆子 [lu dou zi]), which was the title of an ancient immortal (仙人 [xian ren]). Moggallāna (目乾連 [mu gan lian]) belonged to this lineage of immortals. He was also known as Jùlìjiā (俱利迦 [ju li jia]) (Kulika), or Jūlìduō (拘隸多 [ju li duo]), or Jùlǜtuó (俱律陀 [ju lu tuo]); all are names for the same person." Sanskrit: Mahā Maudgalyāyana.
採菽氏—【人名】佛弟子目乾連之譯名。慧琳音義六曰：「採菽氏，古譯梵語云大目乾連，訛略不正。正梵語云摩訶沒特伽羅，唐云大採菽氏，俗云菉豆子，古仙人號也。目乾連是此仙種，亦名俱利迦 Kulika，或名拘隸多，或云俱律陀，皆一人之號。」梵 Mahā Maudgalyāyana。
