維摩經略疏 2.76

2.76

「佛以一音」下六行，次歎口密。文為三：初兩行是辭、法二辨。「同其語」即辭辨，「各得解」即法辨。辭者，一切眾生殊方異類言音各異，同其類音，故名辭辨。法者，一切諸法名字差別種種非一，各有所召。得法辨者，皆識語法，即同其音，故名法辨。佛以一音而辭法異趣，二辨應物，是口密也。佛尚非是梵，況同眾生？令異音解即非辭法，而現辭法者，口密力也。

From "The Buddha with a single sound..." down, spanning six lines, the next part praises the secret of speech. The text has three [parts]: first, two lines treat the two analytical knowledges of phrasing and phenomena. "Harmonising with their language" is the analytical knowledge of phrasing; "each attains understanding" is the analytical knowledge of phenomena. Phrasing: sentient beings of all different regions and varying species each have different speech and sounds, and [the Buddha] accords with the sounds of their species; hence it is called the analytical knowledge of phrasing. Phenomena: the names and distinctions of all phenomena are varied and not just one, each having what it designates. One who has attained the analytical knowledge of phenomena understands all spoken conventions and harmonises with their sounds; hence it is called the analytical knowledge of phenomena. The Buddha, with a single sound, varies his application across phrasing and phenomena, and with the two analytical knowledges responds to beings: this is the secret of speech. The Buddha is not even [merely] Brahmā, how much less identical to sentient beings? Causing distinct sounds to be understood is fundamentally neither phrasing nor phenomena, yet manifesting phrasing and phenomena is the power of the secret of speech.
