21.376

第四對云同所了名者,謂共所解想者,想猶是名。與此相違是非同所了名者,如當國名,同國人皆共所解。若聞異國名,非同所解,與前第二對同類異類有何異耶?解云:前同類異類,就同國名中曲辨同異,總說有情是人同名,別說佛授德友是人別名,總說色受及以大種是法同名,別說青黃苦樂捨受地水風等是法別名。今言同所了者,望同國名,非同所了,望異國名,是故不雜。

The fourth pair states that 'commonly understood names' refers to 'commonly understood concepts'—concept being synonymous with name. Contrary to this are 'names that are not commonly understood': like names within one's own country, which all people of the same country commonly understand; if one hears names of a foreign country, they are not commonly understood. What is the difference between this and the second pair, homogeneous and heterogeneous? The explanation says: the former pair, homogeneous and heterogeneous, elaborates sameness and difference within the names of one and the same country: generally speaking of 'sentient being' is a common name for persons; specifically speaking of 'Devadatta' or 'Mitrasena' is a specific name for persons; generally speaking of form, feeling, and the primary elements is a common name for dharmas; specifically speaking of blue, yellow, painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling, earth, water, wind, and so forth is a specific name for dharmas. What is called 'commonly understood' here is in reference to the names of one's own country; 'not commonly understood' is in reference to the names of a foreign country. Therefore they are not conflated.
