5.307

The Abhidharmasamuccaya and others alternatively speak of two designations: namely, in dependence on objects of nominal concept, or in dependence on objects of other concepts. The Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra speaks of three designations: namely, nominal designation, recipient designation, and phenomenal designation. The Cheng weishi lun also speaks of three designations: aggregation, continuation, and positional states. The Tattvasiddhi-śāstra states there are four designations: arising from cause, mutual dependence, continuation, and formation through conditions. Fascicle one hundred of this treatise states there are six designations: aggregation designation, cause designation, effect designation, range designation, positional designation, and relative designation. Here and in fascicle eighteen of the Prakaraṇāryavācā, six are again stated. The places from which discourse arises are called designations. This can be understood.
