Sengliang comments: "Phenomenon" is the substance of the thing; "name" is the cause of the meaning; "meaning" is the reality of the name. Designations of internal and external each possess general and specific aspects.

Interchanging single names and single meanings, one seeks the explanation below, each preserving its own purport.
