4.318

肇曰:決定審理謂之智,造心分別謂之慧。上決眾生、念定諸法相,然後說法,故繫之以智。今造心分別法相令入一門,故繫之以慧也。別本云「智業慧業」,什曰:二業中慧明勝,故有二種分別。內自見法名為慧,外為眾生知其心相決定不疑而為說法名為智也。

[Seng]zhao says: Decisively examining principles is called knowledge (jñāna); formulating mental discernment is called wisdom (prajñā). Above, one determines [the needs of] sentient beings and ascertains the marks of dharmas, and then expounds the Dharma; hence it is linked to knowledge. Here, one formulates mental discernment of the marks of dharmas to cause entry into the single gate; hence it is linked to wisdom. Another recension says: "Deeds of knowledge and deeds of wisdom." [Kumāra]jīva says: Between the two kinds of deeds, wisdom and illumination are superior; hence there are two kinds of distinctions. Internally seeing dharmas for oneself is called wisdom; externally knowing the mental marks of sentient beings without doubt and expounding the Dharma for them is called knowledge.
