16.3

初釋名,佛者標人表德,小相者形大辨體,光明者依體起用,功德者用所成益。此則依人顯德,體用為名。

First, explaining the title: "Buddha" indicates the person and expresses virtue; "minor marks" is stated in contrast to the major [marks] to distinguish their essence; "light" refers to giving rise to function based on essence; "merit" refers to the benefit accomplished by function. This, then, reveals virtue based on the person, taking essence and function as the title.
