瑜伽師地論略纂 10.80

10.80

論云「若於諸法諸事隨起言說，即於彼法等，乃至制立眾多假說而表詮故」者，重破外計。計既云名目所詮，所詮稱名者，如一法上有稱多名，應所目法稱眾多名，有眾多體；既能目名多，所目法體一，故知名於法上假立眾多詮表也。上來雖明名於法假說，亦非於一法上有一切詮表決定可得。如一青色，雖立假名說為青色，不可以假名故，亦說為黃色，只可於一法上隨所立假名。如眼等，並眾多照、了、導等，不可立餘假說耳等名而目於眼故。

The treatise states: "If speech arises following dharmas and matters, then with respect to those dharmas [...] up to [...] establishing numerous nominal designations to express and designate them": this reiterates the refutation of the external attachment. If they grasp that the name refers to the designated and the designated corresponds to the name, then since on one dharma there are many corresponding names, the denoted dharma ought to correspond to the numerous names and have numerous essences; but since the denoting names are many while the essence of the denoted dharma is one, we know that names are merely numerous expressions and designations nominally posited upon the dharma. Although the above clarifies that names are nominal designations upon dharmas, it is also not the case that all expressions and designations can definitively be found on a single dharma. For example, regarding a single blue color, although a nominal designation is established calling it "blue color," because it is a nominal designation one cannot also call it "yellow color"; one can only apply to a single dharma whatever nominal designation has been established. As with the eye and so forth, along with numerous [terms like] illuminating, discerning, guiding, and so on, one cannot establish other nominal designations such as the name "ear" to refer to the eye.
