Correct knowledge of meaning, Dharma, language, and eloquence.

Four aspects by which a bodhisattva or tathāgata makes correct discernment without making a mistake or confusing one phenomenon with another. The four are listed as (1) the correct discernment of meaning, (2) the correct discernment of Dharma, (3) the correct discernment of etymology or language (nirukti), and (4) the correct discernment of eloquence. See The Perfection of Wisdom in Ten Thousand Lines (Toh 11, UT22084-031-002-253). They are also sometimes referred to as the four correct discernments of a tathāgata (tathāgatha­catuḥ­pratisaṃvid), which is the same set of four but refers specifically to the discernments of a tathāgata as opposed to those similarly possessed by bodhisattvas.

The four correct understandings are the mastery of meaning, the mastery of Dharma, the mastery of language, and the mastery of courageous eloquence.

The four kinds of exact knowledge‍—the essentials through which the buddhas impart their teachings‍—comprise (1) exact knowledge of meanings, (2) exact knowledge of dharmas, (3) exact knowledge of their language and lexical explanations, and (4) exact knowledge of their eloquent expression. See UT22084-026-001-1655. On the philological origins of these four kinds of exact knowledge, see Konow (1941): p. 40, and the reconstructed Sanskrit on p. 107; also Dayal (1932): pp. 259–67, and Sparham (2012 IV): pp. 78–79.
