此明字緣字界。若字是字界,般那都為緣。若以般為緣助於若界,則名為慧。若以那為緣助於若界,則名為智。如僧人俗人等云云。名殊謂曰智曰慧,義殊謂決斷揀擇,此中義殊故使名殊也。
This clarifies the affix (pratyaya) and the verbal root (dhātu). Ruo (jñā) is the verbal root; both ban (pra) and na are affixes. If one takes ban (pra) as the affix assisting the ruo (jñā) root, it is named wisdom (hui / prajñā). If one takes na as the affix assisting the ruo (jñā) root, it is named knowledge (zhi / jñāna). Like saying "monastic person," "lay person," and so forth. The difference in names refers to saying "knowledge" and saying "wisdom"; the difference in meanings refers to decisive determination and discernment. Here, because the meanings differ, the names are also made to differ.
