Second: 'hetuvidyā' is the overall name of one science. 'Entering the correct principle' is the specific title of this scroll. 'Cause' refers to the words of the vādin that set forth the grand thread of the fundamental pratijñā. 'Science' (illumination) refers to the praiseworthy condition of the opponent's and arbiter's wisdom illuminating the words and meaning. Without words there is no way to reveal the pratijñā, so it incorporates wisdom and meaning to designate the term 'cause'; without wisdom there is no way to fathom the subtle, so it encompasses words and meaning to raise the term 'illumination'. The profound subtleties of proof and refutation are called the correct principle. The harmonious penetration of wisdom and understanding is termed entering. Due to the vādin setting forth words such as the hetu, the wisdom of the opponent and arbiter arises, understanding the meaning of proof and refutation; because it is the cause belonging to the illumination, it is named hetuvidyā, which is a tatpuruṣa compound. Because words produce wisdom, penetrating and understanding the profound subtleties of phenomena is called entering; this is the entry into the correct principle, and also the hetuvidyā of entering the correct principle, both being tatpuruṣa compounds.
