Second, determining the sequence of "subtle" and "dharma" has four [parts]: first, it indicates; next, beginning with "If according to meaning," it distinguishes the sequence; third, beginning with "From the present title," it directly clarifies the present intent; fourth, beginning with "Although again," it harmonizes the two paths. The first is as in the text. As for the next passage: following the meaning and following the name each have their rationale. In following the meaning: first it establishes, and next cites proof. In following the name: it also first establishes, and next cites events. In the events there are two: first, it proves following the name; next, beginning with "solidly considered," it again accords with following the meaning. Regarding "solid" (*du*): the *Erya* says, "It means firm." *Laozi* says, "Guarding stillness is called solid"; "solid" means upright and correct.
