七開名者,此一名開為十事五對:一通別一對,謂大方廣等一部通名,世間淨眼是當品別目。二就通中教義一對,謂大等是所詮義,經之一字是能詮之教。三就義中法喻一對,謂大等是法,華嚴為喻。四就法中境智一對,謂大等是所證所覺,佛是能證能覺,亦是人法一對。五就境中簡持一對,謂大字是能簡,方廣為所簡,即簡大異小、簡實異權簡、果異因故也。

Seventh, the analyzed name: this single title is analyzed into ten items in five pairs: First, the pair of general and specific: "Great Vaipulya..." and so forth is the general title of the entire work, while "Pure Eyes of the World" is the specific heading of the individual chapter. Second, within the general [title], the pair of teaching and doctrine: "Great" and so forth is the signified doctrine, while the single word "Sūtra" is the signifier teaching. Third, within the doctrine, the pair of dharma and metaphor: "Great" and so forth is the dharma, while "Flower Adornment" is the metaphor. Fourth, within the dharma, the pair of object and wisdom: "Great" and so forth is what is realized and awakened to, while "Buddha" is the one who realizes and awakens; this is also a pair of person and dharma. Fifth, within the object, the pair of qualifying and qualified: the word "Great" is the qualifier, and "Vaipulya" (fangguang) is the qualified, which serves to distinguish the great from the small, distinguish the real from the expedient, and distinguish the result from the cause.
