俱舍論記 5.224

5.224

「謂能說者至別有實名」者，經部釋。劫初已來諸能說者，於諸義中已共立聲為能詮定量。且如古者諸有智人，於九義中共立一瞿聲為能詮定量。此即引證。九義者，一方、二獸、三地、四光、五言、六金剛寶、七眼、八天、九水。此之共許能詮定量何但我立，諸有毘婆沙師執有實名能顯義者，亦定應許如是諸義之名，相共立為能詮定量。又解：如是九義瞿名，餘解如前。

On "Speakers... distinct, real words": this is the Sautrāntika's explanation. From the beginning of the eon onward, speakers have collectively established sounds as conventional measures of denotation for various meanings. For instance, in ancient times the wise collectively established the single sound go as a conventional measure of denotation for nine meanings. This is cited as proof. The nine meanings are: first, direction; second, animal; third, earth; fourth, light; fifth, speech; sixth, vajra jewel; seventh, eye; eighth, heaven; ninth, water. This universally accepted conventional measure of denotation is not held by me alone; those Vaibhāṣikas who maintain that there are real words capable of revealing meaning must also certainly accept that the words for these meanings were collectively established as conventional measures of denotation. Another explanation: The name go for these nine meanings is otherwise explained as before.
