"Also, there is another case where the meaning is one, but the names are many. The so-called 'skandha' is called: skandha, upside-down, satya; it is presented as: four remembrances, four kinds of food, and four abodes of consciousness. Also, it is called 'is', way, time being, world, 'Paramartha-satya’ [Ultimate Truth], three practices of body, sila (precepts) and mind, cause and effect, defilement, Emancipation, 12 links of interdependent arising, Sravaka, Pratyekabuddha, hell, hungry preta, animality, human and god. Also, it is called: past, present, and future. This is why we say that innumerable are the names to one meaning."
