華嚴經探玄記 4.23

4.23

First, explaining the title: "four" is the number. "Truth" (satya) is the meaning: because it is real in principle, it can give rise to unperverted understanding; hence all are called "truths." This is an explanation that incorporates a numeral (dvigu / tatpuruṣa). This chapter does not explain the meaning of the four noble truths, but only clarifies the different names of the four noble truths; hence it is named the "Chapter on the Four Noble Truths."
