攝釋分三云何為文，謂有六種。一者、名身；二者、句身；三者、文身；四者、語；五者、行相；六者、機請。下云語者：當知略具八分；謂先首、美妙等，由彼語，文句等相應，乃至常委分資糧故，能說正法，乃至三如是八語，略具三德。一者、趣向德，謂初一種；二者、自體德，謂次二種；三者、加行德，謂所餘種。相應者：謂名句文身，次第善安立故；又依四種道理相應故。助伴者，能成次第故；隨順者，謂解釋次第故；清徹者，文句顯了故；清淨資助者，善入眾心故；相稱者，如眾會故；應供故；稱法故；引義故；順時故；常委分資糧者，審悉所作，恒常所作，故名常委；彼分者，謂正見等此是彼資糧故。然此相應等句測分為分別，取應順為第七故，基判為八句而釋之，謂七應順常委，八分別資糧法也，今皆不從，即判為七。

Vyākhyānasaṃgrahaṇī 3 states: What is the text? There are six kinds: first, collections of names; second, collections of phrases; third, collections of phonemes; fourth, speech; fifth, aspects; sixth, requests according to capacity. Below it says: As for speech, it should be known to briefly possess eight parts: foremost, melodious, and so forth. By that speech being conjoined with words and phrases, up to being provisions of constant and careful discernment, one can expound the true Dharma, and so forth. These eight kinds of speech briefly possess three virtues: first, the virtue of orientation, namely the first kind; second, the virtue of intrinsic nature, namely the next two kinds; third, the virtue of preparatory application, namely the remaining kinds. 'Conjoined' means that collections of names, phrases, and phonemes are well established in proper sequence; furthermore, it means conjoined based on the four kinds of principles. 'Companioning' means being able to accomplish the sequence. 'Compliant' means explaining the sequence. 'Clear' means the words and phrases are distinct. 'Purely supportive' means skillfully entering the minds of the assembly. 'Commensurate' means matching the assembly, deserving reverence, according with the Dharma, inducing the meaning, and conforming to the proper time. 'Provisions of constant and careful discernment': examining what is to be done and perpetually doing it, hence called 'constant and careful'; 'its discernment' refers to right view and so forth, because this is the provision for them. However, Master Ce divided these phrases such as 'conjoined' by taking discernment and appropriate as the seventh; thus Master Ji decided them to be eight phrases and explained them, taking seven as appropriately constant and careful, and eight as discerning the Dharma of provisions. Now, neither is followed, and it is judged as seven.
