故此善聆音，能察理，知前後，萬物皆明。
故此善聆音，能察理，知前后，万物皆明。
"Therefore he is skilled at listening to sounds, can examine principles, knows what came before and what comes after, and to him all the ten thousand things are plain.
The Buddha quotes his own catalogue straight back as the explanation of the particular case — the same four abilities, word for word.
與真悟空同像同音者，六耳獼猴也。」
与真悟空同像同音者，六耳猕猴也。」
One of the same form and the same voice as the true Wukong — that is the Six-Eared Macaque."
同像同音, same form and same voice, answers the assembly's 兩張口一樣聲 exactly, and closes the exposition on the name.
The Buddha closes by repeating himself word for word. 善聆音，能察理，知前後，萬物皆明 was given four segments ago as the fourth entry in a general catalogue; here it comes back as the account of one particular creature standing in front of him. The repetition is the argument: the general description and the specific case are the same description.
與真悟空同像同音者，六耳獼猴也 lands on the name for the second time, and the phrasing answers the assembly's failure directly. They heard 兩張口一樣聲, two mouths with one voice, and could not tell. The Buddha takes their own observation — same form and same voice — and turns it from the reason nobody could identify him into the definition of what he is.
It is a characteristically economical resolution. Nothing is added to the evidence. The evidence is reclassified. Everyone in the chapter had all the facts and was short of exactly one category.
