大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 39.4

39.4

疏「二釋名者」，文分四：一正釋名、二出體性、三結成本名、四對前揀異。今初，有三：一總釋。若譯就此方，應名淨行，為揀前故此存梵音，二真境為梵，約因中釋。三涅槃為梵，約因果對釋。並可知也。

Regarding the commentary's "Second, explaining the name," the text has four parts: first, directly explaining the name; second, identifying its essential nature; third, concluding and establishing its original name; and fourth, distinguishing differences in contrast to what came before. As for the first, there are three [explanations]: 1. General explanation: If translated according to this land, it should be named "pure practice" (jingxing), yet to distinguish it from what came before, the Sanskrit sound [brahmacaryā / fanxing] is retained here. 2. The true realm is brahma [purity]: this is explained in terms of the causal stage. 3. Nirvāṇa is brahma: this is explained in terms of the contrast between cause and fruit. All may be understood.
