23.16

「毘婆沙師至由楔力持」者,答。斧由楔持能破於木,慧由念持於境得轉,此即從因為名。

Regarding "The masters of the Vibhāṣā ... supported by the power of a wedge": this is the answer. An axe, supported by a wedge, is able to split wood; prajñā, supported by mindfulness, is able to operate with respect to an object. This is naming it after its cause.
