發智六足 [fa zhi liu zu]—Prajñapti and Six Pādas—【Book Title】The Prajñapti-śāstra (發智論 [fa zhi lun]) and the Six Pādas (六足論 [liu zu lun]). The Sarvāstivāda school (薩婆多宗 [sa po duo zong]) has seven fundamental treatises (根本論 [gen ben lun]). Among them, the Prajñapti-śāstra is the most comprehensive, therefore it is called the 'body treatise' (身論 [shen lun]). The other six treatises are named 'pāda treatises' (足論 [zu lun]). See the entry for Abhidharma (阿毘達磨 [a pi da mo]).

發智六足—【書名】發智論與六足論也,薩婆多宗之根本論有七論,其中發智論最該博,故謂之身論。他六論名為足論。見阿毘達磨條。(阿毘達磨)
