第四明名等詮法盡不盡者，於五法中，名句但詮前四相名分別與及正智，前決擇云前四是其名言安足處故，真如一種名所不詮故，又決擇云：真如一種名言不及，以非名言安足處故。又此五法自相名言不及，唯現量所知故，五法共相隨心起，是比量境故，名言所及。

Fourth, clarifying whether names and so forth express phenomena exhaustively or not: among the five dharmas, names and phrases express only the first four: appearance, name, discrimination, and correct knowledge. As the *Viniścayasaṃgrahaṇī* previously explained, the first four are the footholds of verbal designation, whereas the single [dharma] of tathatā is not expressed by names. Furthermore, the *Viniścayasaṃgrahaṇī* states: 'The single [dharma of] tathatā is beyond the reach of verbal designation, because it is not a foothold for verbal designation.' Moreover, the particular characteristics (*svalakṣaṇa*) of these five dharmas are beyond the reach of verbal designation, being known only by direct perception (*pratyakṣa*); the common characteristics (*sāmānyalakṣaṇa*) of the five dharmas arise according to the mind, and because they are the domain of inference (*anumāna*), they are within the reach of verbal designation.
