金光明最勝王經疏 3.467

3.467

釋品名者，真諦云：「業障滅品，此西國音。此經云滅業障，依此方語。梵云羯磨（此云業）阿跋囉拏（此云障）毘那奢（此云滅）。」業謂造作，障謂障礙。由作不善能礙聖道，業即是障，持業釋也。滅通能所，若能滅名滅，即懺悔等，曰由此懺等能滅業障，即業障之滅，依主釋。或所滅名滅，滅者除也，由懺等四令業障滅，業障即滅，持業釋也。或滅業障總屬於能，即於能滅說所滅法，由懺悔等四能滅業障，名〈滅業障品〉。如《理門論》云「於其能破立所破聲。」

Regarding the explanation of the chapter's title: Paramārtha says: "The Chapter on Karmic Obstacle Eradication is the Western phrasing. This sūtra says 'Eradication of Karmic Obstacles' in accordance with the phrasing of this land. In Sanskrit it is karma (translated here as 'action/karmic'), āvaraṇa (translated here as 'obstacle'), vināśa (translated here as 'eradication')." Karma means creation/action; obstacle means hindrance. Because performing unwholesomeness can obstruct the noble path, the karma itself is the obstacle: this is a karmadhāraya compound. "Eradication" applies both actively and passively: if active eradication is called "eradication," namely repentance and so forth, it means: "because of this repentance and so forth, one is able to eradicate karmic obstacles," which is "the eradication of karmic obstacles"—a tatpuruṣa compound. Alternatively, that which is eradicated is called "eradication"—eradication meaning removal: through the four [factors] such as repentance, one causes karmic obstacles to be eradicated; the karmic obstacles are eradicated—a karmadhāraya compound. Or again, "eradication of karmic obstacles" belongs overall to the agent [of eradication], expressing the object eradicated in terms of the agent of eradication: because the four factors such as repentance can eradicate karmic obstacles, it is called the "Chapter on the Eradication of Karmic Obstacles." As the Nyāyamukha says: "The designation of that which is refuted is applied to that which refutes."
