第五文義決通意。夫理本絕名，故立名標其宗極；名隨事顯，故對事而備斯文。然考斯律藏，言事並周，但為年代渺邈，聲彩靡追；法為時移，事多殘缺；加以五師捃拾，情見不同；重由翻譯失旨，妄生構立；又為抄寫錯漏，相承傳濫。所以至於尋究，紛慮良多。今總會之，以通其大見。

> Fifth: the intent behind definitively harmonizing text and meaning. In principle, truth fundamentally transcends names; thus names are established to indicate its ultimate aim. Names become evident in accordance with affairs; thus confronting affairs, these texts are fully provided. Yet examining this Vinaya Piṭaka, words and affairs are both comprehensive; it is only because the passage of time is so vast that the original voice and form can no longer be retrieved; practices have shifted with the times, and affairs are largely broken and incomplete; furthermore, the five masters gathered them with differing viewpoints; moreover, translations lost the intended meaning, arbitrarily giving rise to fabrications; and through copying errors and omissions, corruptions have been transmitted down through generations. Therefore, when it comes to investigating them, perplexing doubts are indeed numerous. Now, we comprehensively synthesize them to illuminate the overarching perspective.
