窣莎揭哆 [su sha jie duo]—susvāgata, most welcome (a greeting).
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
窣莎揭哆 [su sha jie duo]—(Susvāgata)—【雜語 [za yu]】(zá yǔ) This translates to "極善來 [ji shan lai]" (jí shàn lái, Most Welcome). It is a phrase used by guests arriving from outside to thank the host. Volume three of the Jì Guī Zhuàn (寄歸傳三 [ji gui chuan san]) states: "The community at Xīfāng Sì (西方寺 [xi fang si]) has established a rule (制法 [zhi fa]): whenever a newcomer is seen, whether they are a new or old guest, or a new or old disciple or monastic, one must step forward and chant '莎揭哆 [sha jie duo]' (shā jiē duō), which translates to '善來 [shan lai]' (shàn lái, Welcome). The guest, upon hearing this, immediately responds with '' (sū shā jiē duō), which translates to '極善來 [ji shan lai]' (jí shàn lái, Most Welcome). If one does not say it, firstly, it violates the temple's rule, and secondly, it constitutes an offense according to the monastic discipline (律 [lu])."
窣莎揭哆—【雜語】Susvāgata，譯曰極善來。客自外來時，謝主之辭。寄歸傳三曰：「西方寺眾多為制法，凡見新來無論客舊及弟子門人舊人，即須迎前唱莎揭哆，譯曰善來。客乃尋聲即云窣莎揭哆，譯曰極善來。如不說者，一違寺制，二准律有犯。」
