維摩經義疏 1.12

1.12

立名轉不轉門二。三世佛經立名有二：一名字不轉、二隨佛世異。如過去二萬日月燈明佛說大乘經名妙法蓮華經，現在釋迦同有斯名。此理名字不轉。二者隨佛出世立名不同，如十二部內伊帝曰多伽經，拘留秦佛出世之時名甘露鼓、拘那含牟尼佛名為法鏡、迦葉佛時名分別空、釋迦興世稱為界經。蓋是適緣不同，故隨時異也（通名既轉，別名應然，互相類也）。

Section two: The mutable and immutable establishment of titles. The sūtras of the Buddhas of the three periods have two kinds of title establishment: first, names that do not change; second, differing according to the eras of the Buddhas. For example, in the past, twenty thousand Candrasūryapradīpa Buddhas preached the Mahāyāna sūtra named the Wonderful Dharma Lotus Flower Sūtra, and in the present, Śākyamuni shares this same name. In this principle, the name does not change. Second, the establishment of titles differs according to the Buddha's appearing in the world, just as within the twelve divisions of scriptures, the Itivṛttaka Sūtra was named Amṛtadundubhi when Krakucchanda Buddha appeared in the world, Dharmādarśa in the time of Kanakamuni Buddha, Vibhaṅga-śūnyatā in the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, and Dhātu Sūtra when Śākyamuni arose in the world. This is because adapting to conditions is not uniform, so it varies according to the time. (Since the common title changes, the specific title should also be like this, by mutual analogy.)
