第四釋經文，如世尊說：增語、增語路乃至廣說者，下明詞與施設名為廣說。增語者諸一切眾同類相應名者，如有一名眾人同解增其言說，語路者并眾同類欲能起彼故者，則以欲心希須立名起說開生名等，名增語路。詞者：謂彼相應語者，則聲明論體名詞，由習彼論引生名等稱路故，言謂彼相應語。又則此語至名為彼路者，通取彼論能詮皆能生名名之為路。施設者至名為彼路者，由想等心於諸法體一一分別施設建立名句文等，說施設心等為名等路。欲即是詞至施設之路者，前明欲是心法，今明欲是音聲，依聲立名即說聲為名路。

Fourth, explaining the scriptural text: "As the World-Honoured One said: 'Designation, the path of designation' up to 'speaking extensively'"—below, clarifying terminology (nirukti) and conceptual designation (prajñapti) is called "speaking extensively". "Designation" refers to names associated with all of the same class: for instance, a single name is commonly understood by many people to augment their verbal discourse. "The path of speech" refers to "together with the desire of the same class being able to give rise to it": namely, with a desiring mind one wishes to establish names, giving rise to discourse and generating names and so forth; this is called the path of designation. Regarding "Terminology: namely, speech associated with that": the corpus of the treatise on phonetics (śabdavidyā) is called terminology; because practicing that treatise gives rise to names and so forth, it is called the path, hence it says "namely, speech associated with that". Furthermore, regarding "this speech" up to "is called its path": generally taking all the expressive means of that treatise as being able to generate names, it is called their path. Regarding "Conceptual designation" up to "is called its path": due to minds such as ideation separately positing and establishing names, sentences, letters, and so on upon the essences of all dharmas, the positing mind and so forth are called the path of names and so forth. Regarding "Desire is terminology" up to "the path of conceptual designation": earlier it was explained that desire is a mental dharma; now it is explained that desire is sound—establishing names in reliance on sound, sound is straightway said to be the path of names.
