因明入正理論疏 1.9

1.9

一、云明者，五明之通名。因者，一明之別稱。入正理者，此論之別目。因體有二，所謂生、了，二各有三，廣如下釋。今明此因義，故曰因明。所明者因，能明者教，因之明故，號曰因明，依主釋也。入者，達解。正理者，諸法本真，自性差別，時移解昧，旨多沈隱。餘雖解釋，邪而不中。今談真法，故名正理。由明此二因，入解諸法之真性，即正理之入，亦入正理之因明，並依主釋也。明體是教，因明即論，持業釋也。簡藏為名，無重言失。

First: 'science' (vidyā) is the general name of the five sciences. 'Cause' (hetu) is the specific name of one science. 'Entering the correct principle' (nyāyapraveśa) is the specific title of this treatise. The substance of cause has two types, namely the kāraka-hetu and the jñāpaka-hetu; each of the two has three varieties, as explained extensively below. Now, because it clarifies the meaning of this cause, it is called hetuvidyā. What is clarified is the cause, and that which clarifies is the teaching; because it is the science of the cause, it is named hetuvidyā, which is a tatpuruṣa compound. 'Entering' is penetrating and understanding. 'Correct principle' is the fundamental truth of all phenomena, their svabhāva and viśeṣa; as eras passed, understanding became dim, and the purports mostly sank into concealment. Although others made explanations, they were heterodox and inaccurate. Now this discusses the true phenomena, hence it is called correct principle. By clarifying these two causes, one enters into the understanding of the true nature of all phenomena; this is the entry into the correct principle, and also the hetuvidyā of entering the correct principle, both being tatpuruṣa compounds. The substance of science is the teaching, and hetuvidyā is itself the treatise, which is a karmadhāraya compound. It takes its name by distinguishing itself from other baskets [of scripture], without the fault of tautology.
