「然四隨四悉」去，別會通也。此且重舉通名也。「今說之」下，正會通名。以大悲故隨順物機得四隨名，以憐愍故遍施法藥得悉檀號。大悲與憐愍，一體異名。如一物不殊，在左謂物為右，在右謂物為左。「因緣者」，即是五略。因緣兩字更互立者，若眾生發心勇猛，雖假聖應，即以眾生為因、聖人為緣；若眾生善根微弱、聖人敦逼，即以聖應為因、眾生為緣。親生為因，疎助為緣，故從強弱立名不定。「當知」去，結。四隨、四悉及五因緣名義相符，故須會之。「言」謂言教，即名異也。「味」謂義味，即義同也。名合於義故曰「相符」。符，合也。《漢書》封功臣，以竹長六寸分而合之為信，故字從竹。從草者，鬼目草名，非今所用。

> From "However, the four compliances and the four siddhāntas" onwards, he specifically synthesizes and integrates them. Here he temporarily re-adduces the general designations. From "Now explaining it" onwards, he properly synthesizes the general designations. Because of great compassion, according with the capacities of beings receives the name of the four compliances; because of pity, bestowing dharma medicines universally receives the designation of siddhāntas. Great compassion and pity are one substance with different names. Just as a single object is not different: when on the left, one calls the object "right"; when on the right, one calls the object "left." "Conditions" refers to the five summaries. The two characters "cause" and "condition" are established interchangeably: if sentient beings arouse their aspiration with vigor, although relying on the response of the sage, sentient beings are taken as the cause and the sage as the condition; if the wholesome roots of sentient beings are weak and the sage presses and urges them, the sage's response is taken as the cause and sentient beings as the condition. Direct generation is the cause, and indirect assistance is the condition; hence the designations are established variably according to strength and weakness. From "It should be known" onwards, he concludes. The names and meanings of the four compliances, four siddhāntas, and five conditions correspond with one another; hence they must be synthesized. "Words" refers to the verbal teaching, which is the difference in names; "flavor" refers to the flavor of meaning, which is the identity in meaning. Names conforming to meanings is called "corresponding" (xiangfu). Fu means to match. In the Book of Han, when enfeoffing meritorious ministers, bamboo six inches long was split and brought together as a tally (fu); hence the character takes the bamboo radical. That with the grass radical is the name of the guimu herb, not what is used here.
