10.149

基述三藏云：若異門體相釋名，此是法義無礙解，能詮所詮多異門分別等故，若因果差別是辨無礙解，辨說因果故。又若準下結文，但云由財施由法故此結上二門由無礙解故，不言是何無礙，何故不言四無礙皆攝？今釋之云：謂於前財施法施無畏施中所有異門是法無礙，謂諸教法多以異門分別法相，若體相即義無礙，所詮之義多約實體言體相，若釋名謂訓詞無礙，釋名字故，若因果差別是辨說無礙，以能辨說法因果事故，即四無礙皆在此中，以於財等施上有此無礙，如實了知而行布施是名無礙解施，又四無礙解中一一皆有異門體相乃至因果等，未必別配之。今準舊論云：比類相貌若名義分別因果，即以基云：異門是法無礙等，為善釋也。

Ji relates that the Tripiṭaka Master said: 'As for the synonyms, essential characteristics, and explanation of names: these are the unimpeded comprehension of teachings and meanings, because the signifiers and signifieds have many synonymic distinctions, and so forth. The distinctions of cause and effect are the unimpeded comprehension of eloquence, because one eloquently explains cause and effect. Moreover, if we refer to the concluding text below, it only says "due to the gift of wealth and due to the gift of Dharma"; this concludes the above two categories. "Due to unimpeded comprehension": it does not specify which unimpeded comprehension it is. Why does it not say that all four unimpeded comprehensions are included? Now it is explained as follows: with respect to the aforementioned gift of wealth, gift of Dharma, and gift of fearlessness, all synonyms are unimpeded comprehension of teachings, for scriptural teachings mostly distinguish dharmic characteristics by means of synonyms. The essential characteristic is unimpeded comprehension of meaning, for the signified meaning is mostly stated as essential characteristic based on the real entity. The explanation of names refers to unimpeded comprehension of language, because it explains names. The distinctions of cause and effect are unimpeded comprehension of eloquence, because one can eloquently expound matters of cause and effect of phenomena. Thus, all four unimpeded comprehensions are present herein. Because one possesses these unimpeded comprehensions regarding the giving of wealth and so forth, practicing giving with true knowledge is called giving with unimpeded comprehension. Furthermore, within each of the four unimpeded comprehensions there are synonyms, essential characteristics, and even causes and effects; they need not be matched separately. Now, collating with the old treatise, it says: "analogous characteristics, distinguishing names, meanings, causes, and effects"; therefore, Ji's statement that synonyms are the unimpeded comprehension of teachings and so forth is an excellent explanation.'
