1.86

From "according to desire" onwards, he next synthesizes the specific names. First, synthesizing the compliances and siddhāntas: desire is simply longing and admiration, hence it is said to follow the cause; the mundane world (loka) is simply the aggregates and sense bases, hence it is said to follow the effect. Mundane world has the meaning of division and separation, while desire means that what is liked is not the same; although cause and effect differ, their meaning is one. "Suitability" distinguishes what sort of person the responsive dharma is suitable to reach. "For individual persons" is observing what dharma the person to be reached delights in. Observing the person necessarily involves selecting what is suitable; choosing the dharma necessarily anticipates what is capable of being reached. The capable delight and the responsive reach together constitute a single meaning. The remaining two names are identical and need not be synthesized separately.
