1.646

答：有三釋，一云：但總相言有別俱分，非全一一實皆有別。二云：我、意、時等對於多人及諸方，時亦得有別。空望別別能合之者，說亦有多義。三云：約與德依多少，亦異名別俱分。

Answer: There are three explanations. One says: It is only stated in a general sense that there is specific sāmānya-viśeṣa; it does not mean that every single substance has distinctions. The second says: Self, mind, time, and so forth, in relation to multiple persons, various directions, and times, can also have distinctions. Space in relation to individual entities capable of conjunction is also said to have multiple aspects. The third says: In terms of the greater or lesser number of qualities they support, their differences are also called specific sāmānya-viśeṣa.
