金剛經纂要刊定記 5.75

5.75

"The Buddha establishes, etc.": explains the cause for establishing the name. 'Cause' means what is relied upon. 'Vajra' has the meaning of being able to destroy; 'prajñā' has the function of contemplative illumination. Teaching and metaphor are both displayed, hence it is called Vajraprajñā. In fact, it is also established in terms of the meaning of being able to be adamantine; here it is provisionally explained with respect to function, fully as spoken in the title and in the seven categories of meaning.
