△五為諸經體，文自開五，今經對他通名為諸。列竟，次釋。初釋為此經體者，今經體一，但一部之內諸名不同，應知諸名通詮實相，故須明之。於中二：先引一部諸名，次「如是等」下釋會諸名名異體一。引例如文。釋會意者，序中正名實相，方便即以大事所為為體，佛知見等所見等為體，印取所譬為體，所付取不共般若中究竟種智所知為體，藥草中取智所依地為體，化城授記並取所喻中一理，寶塔中大慧所照祕藏祕要，準例可知。妙音中取三昧所依，觀音取所通，勸發中取眾德之本。

Part 5, "Serving as the substance of the various sūtras": the text itself divides into five [sections]; this sūtra is broadly referred to as "the various" in contrast to others. The listing being finished, next is the explanation. First, explaining its serving as the substance of this sūtra: the substance of this sūtra is one, but within the single work there are various different names; one should know that these various names all universally express the true aspect, hence it must be clarified. Within this there are two [parts]: first, adducing the various names within the single work; next, from "such as these" downward, explaining and reconciling the various names as different in name but identical in substance. Adducing examples is as in the text. The intention of explaining and reconciling is: in the "Introductory Chapter," the correct name is the "true aspect"; "expedient means" takes that which is done for the great matter as the substance; "the Buddha's knowledge and vision" and so forth take that which is seen and so forth as the substance; the seal takes that which is illustrated as the substance; what is entrusted takes what is known by the ultimate all-seed wisdom within the unshared prajñā as the substance; in "Medicinal Herbs" it takes the ground upon which wisdom relies as the substance; "The Transformed City" and "Conferring of Prophecy" both take the single principle within what is illustrated by the metaphors as the substance; in "The Precious Stūpa," the secret treasury and secret essential illuminated by great wisdom, can be understood by following this paradigm. In "Gadgadasvara" it takes that upon which the samādhi relies, in "Avalokiteśvara" it takes that which is pervaded, and in "Encouragement [of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra]" it takes the root of all virtues.
