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.
