Below, it explains this broadly. "Why speak of immeasurable names within one name?" cites and queries the first category. Therein, it fully examines it with respect to nirvāṇa, and other dharmas are analogous to this. "Why speak of immeasurable names within one meaning?" cites and queries the second. Therein, it fully examines it with respect to Śakra. "Śakra" is a barbarian [Sanskrit] word, translated here as "able to act as lord of the devas." "Kauśika" is his original clan name. In a past life, there was a brāhmaṇa in the country of Vārāṇasī whose clan name was Kauśika, who took pleasure in cultivating merit, and together with thirty-two companions formed a community. When Kauśika's life ended, he became the king of Trāyastriṃśa, and the others became his assisting ministers; the Buddha calls him Kauśika according to his original clan name. Therein, he is variously named after jewels, after banners, and so forth. "Why speak of immeasurable names within immeasurable meanings?" cites and queries the third, fully treating it with respect to the Buddha. "Possessing the eight knowledges": the Buddha knows that saṃsāra is impermanent, suffering, non-self, and impure, and knows that the dharma of nirvāṇa is permanent, joyful, self, and pure; these are called the eight knowledges. There may also be others, which are not enumerated in the text. Meanings that are not exhausted are discussed again below. "Furthermore, within one meaning speak of immeasurable names" repeats the preceding category. Taking "aggregates" as one meaning: "Also named aggregates" applies the name to its proper meaning, while all the others are established correlatively. "Also named inversions": because they are able to give rise to inverted minds they are called inversions, just as the realms of the five sense-objects give rise to desire. "Also named truths": the defiled five aggregates are the truths of suffering and origination, and the undefiled five aggregates are the truth of the path. "Named the four applications of mindfulness": the form aggregate is mindfulness of the body; the sensation aggregate is mindfulness of feelings; the consciousness aggregate is mindfulness of the mind; and the perception and volition aggregates are mindfulness of dharmas. "Named the four nutriments": morsel food is form, so morsel food is found within the form aggregate; consciousness food is the consciousness aggregate; within volition are fully present volitional food and contact food; sensation and perception are not discussed. "Four stations of consciousness": within the defiled aggregates, setting aside consciousness itself, the remaining four aggregates serve as the support for consciousness, hence called the four stations of consciousness. "Also named existences": namely, the three realms of existence and the twenty-five existences. "Also named destinies": namely, the six destinies. "Also named times": the present, future, and subsequent times, or alternatively, the times of arising, abiding, and cessation. "Named sentient beings": speaking of the fruit from the cause; they are also called the world. "Ultimate truth": their marks are named conventional truth, their essence is named ultimate truth. "Named the three cultivations": form is called bodily morality; the other four are called mind. "Named cause and fruit": wholesome and unwholesome five aggregates are spoken of as the cause of accumulation; the aggregate of retribution is called the fruit. "Named defilements": the defiled five aggregates arise from defilements, and because they can generate defilements they are called defilements. "Named liberation": the undefiled five aggregates. Revolving through the three times, they are called "the twelve links of dependent origination." Aggregating to form a provisional person, they are called "śrāvakas" and so forth. Differentiated across the three times, they are called "past" and so forth. "These are named..." concludes it. This concludes the first category.
