觀世音者可有四名:一名觀世音,正言觀世間音聲而度脫之也;二名觀世音身,即是觀眾生身業而度脫之;三言觀世意,即是觀眾生意業而度脫之也;四者名觀世業,此則通前三種。
Regarding "Avalokiteśvara," there can be four names: first, named Avalokiteśvara ("Contemplator of the World's Sounds"), referring precisely to contemplating the sounds of the world and liberating them; second, named "Contemplator of the World's Physical Actions," which is contemplating the bodily actions of sentient beings and liberating them; third, called "Contemplator of the World's Mental Actions," which is contemplating the mental actions of sentient beings and liberating them; fourth, named "Contemplator of the World's Actions," which encompasses the previous three kinds.
