知諸稱謂（稱昌孕反稱順也漢書音義云謂者指趣也今謂於法門意趣皆隨順知也漢書又曰謂名稱也事宜也謂凡諸事物知其名目識其所宜皆日稱謂也）。

> "Knowing the various appellations" (Appellation \[稱\] is chèn \[chāng + yùn fanqie\]; 稱 means conforming to. The Hanshu yinyi says: "謂 \[wèi\] means the purport or direction." Here it means conforming to and knowing the purports of the Dharma teachings. The Hanshu also says: "謂 means name and designation, or what is suitable to affairs." It means knowing the names of all affairs and things and discerning what is appropriate to them; all of this is called "appellations").
