大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 28.6

28.6

Regarding the commentary's statement, "Expressing virtue is an epithet (hào)": there is also an explanation stating that expressing virtue is a style name (zì), while resounding throughout humanity and heaven is called an epithet (hào). Here, the style name is identical to the epithet, just as the ten epithets are all based on virtue. Speaking of "names being distinct and epithets being shared": this is merely stated in terms of general characteristics. From "What is properly expounded in this chapter" downward, it selects and determines the shared and specific, which can be known.
