### [4.269](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.4.269)

如依瓶盆事，立瓶盆名，謂一名二名多名能詮自性，名曰名身。言句身等者，即因名成句，因句顯義，如銅、鐵等瓶，句義各異，謂一句二句多句能詮差別，名曰句身。由於此文能成名句，謂一字二字多字為二所依，名曰文身。若依古譯翻文為味，但是所顯非能顯也。身者多法積聚義。

> \[The commentary says:\] Just as based on the object of a jar or a bowl, one establishes the name 'jar' or 'bowl'—meaning one name, two names, or many names that can express intrinsic nature—this is called a collection of names. Speaking of a collection of phrases and so forth: names form phrases, and phrases reveal meaning, as in 'copper jar', 'iron jar', and so forth, where the meaning of the phrases is distinct; meaning one phrase, two phrases, or many phrases that can express distinctions—this is called a collection of phrases. Because through these syllables one can form names and phrases—meaning one syllable, two syllables, or many syllables acting as the basis for the two—this is called a collection of syllables. If following the old translation where 'syllable' (vyañjana) was rendered as 'flavour' (pada/rasa), that was merely what is revealed, not that which reveals. 'Collection' (kāya) has the meaning of an accumulation of many elements.
