From the commentary's "Although there are multiple kinds" onward: second, integrating them in terms of their meaning, they do not go beyond the meaning of the four siddhāntas. First, the worldly siddhānta merely causes delight; the names established for the Tathāgata rarely follow this, mostly deriving from the latter three. When it now says "according to what is appropriate," this is the overarching statement. Yet because all four siddhāntas accord with what is appropriate for beings, this single phrase also subsumes the worldly siddhānta. Second, producing goodness is for the sake of persons. Third, eliminating evil is the antidotal. Fourth, seeing the principle is the supreme meaning. Furthermore, the four siddhāntas are also called the four accordances, which will be expounded more extensively in the chapter "Inquiry on the Clear." As for the statement "manifesting simultaneously in the ocean-seal," the endless names are all manifested simultaneously in our fundamental teacher's ocean-seal. That is, subsuming the names of the Buddhas of the ten directions and the three times, they all belong to the titles of a single Buddha according to what is appropriate, not in terms of multiple Buddhas.
