二諦義 2.32

2.32

問：唯有此四名不？解云：名無量，世諦、俗諦、有諦、凡諦、真諦、第一義諦、空諦、聖諦。故《華嚴．四諦品》云「此娑婆世界，有四十億百千那由他四諦名，況十方世界名號。」斯則有眾數名，不可具舉。若具舉，竹帛所不能載。今且略釋世與俗、真與第一義四名也。然此四名有離、有合。合者，合世、俗為一諦，合真、第一為一諦。故經云「世俗諦故說，第一實義故即無」也。離者，則有世諦、俗諦、真諦、第一義諦。

Question: Are there only these four names or not? Explanation: The names are immeasurable: worldly truth, conventional truth, existence truth, ordinary truth, ultimate truth, truth of the supreme meaning, emptiness truth, and noble truth. Thus the "Chapter on the Four Truths" in the Avataṃsaka says: "In this Sahā world, there are four billion hundred-thousand nayutas of names for the four truths, not to speak of the designations throughout the worlds of the ten directions." Thus there are innumerable names, which cannot be cited in full. If cited in full, bamboo and silk could not contain them. For now, we will briefly explain the four names: worldly and conventional, ultimate and supreme meaning. However, these four names may be separated or combined. As for combining them: combining worldly and conventional forms one truth; combining ultimate and supreme forms one truth. Thus the sūtra says: "It is spoken because of conventional truth; because of the supreme real meaning, it does not exist." As for separating them, there are worldly truth, conventional truth, ultimate truth, and truth of the supreme meaning.
