第三歷諸教中二：先總以五味對凡夫及四教，次一一教各具五味。初文二：初引經，次釋譬。一一具五中，先略標，次各釋，文自為四，具如《止觀》第三記。一一教中皆有頓漸不定等三，是則非但五味名通，三教亦何滯礙。「超果不定」者，一一教中既各用五味之譬以譬於漸，若發宿習不歷五味而能頓超名之為頓，隨發不同名為不定。

Third, in traversing the various teachings, there are two parts: first, generally matching the five flavors against ordinary persons and the four teachings; next, each single teaching possessing all five flavors. The first text has two parts: first citing the sūtra, and next explaining the metaphor. In each possessing all five: first briefly indexing them, and next separately explaining them; the text naturally divides into four, fully as in the third record of Zhiguan. Within each single teaching there are the three of sudden, gradual, and indefinite; thus not only is the designation of the five flavors pervasive, but how could there be any obstruction in the three teachings? As for "transcending the fruits indefinitely": since within each single teaching the metaphor of the five flavors is used to illustrate the gradual, if one's past habituation manifests so that one does not traverse the five flavors but can suddenly transcend, this is called sudden; according to the difference in manifestation, it is called indefinite.
