### [4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.4.11)

【修多羅】此云契經，有通有別。通則修多羅聖教之都名；別則《妙玄》云：「直說法相者，是別修多羅，如說四諦等也。」所言別者，《雜集論》云：「謂長行綴葺略，說所應說義。」

> 【Sūtra】 Here translated as tallying scripture (\*qìjīng\*). It has a general and a specific \[meaning\]. In the general sense, \*sūtra\* is the collective name for the sacred teachings. In the specific sense, the \*Miaoxuan\* states: "Directly explaining dharma-characteristics is the specific sūtra, such as expounding the four truths, etc." As for what is called the specific, the \*Samuccaya\* states: "It refers to assembling in prose a concise explanation of the meanings that ought to be expounded."
