句，謂六內處等者，詮法自性名名，詮法差別稱句，今詮法差別，是故名句。以寬攝狹名在其中，句有五謂處中等，若八字生是處中句，此即四句三十二字名室路迦，經論文章多依此數，無問長行及與偈頌，但滿三十二字，舊名首慮。六字已上生是初句，二十六字已下生是後句，若減六字生是短句，過二十六字是長句。

> 'Phrases, namely the six internal sense-bases and so forth': Expressing the self-nature of dharmas is called a name; expressing the differences among dharmas is called a phrase. Here it expresses the differences among dharmas, and is therefore called a phrase. Because the broader subsumes the narrower, names are included within it. Phrases are of five kinds, such as intermediate and so forth: if produced of eight syllables, it is an intermediate phrase; this means four phrases of thirty-two syllables make a śloka. Texts of sūtras and treatises mostly rely on this count; regardless of prose or verse, so long as it reaches thirty-two syllables, it was formerly called a shoulu. Those produced of six syllables or more are initial phrases; those of twenty-six syllables or fewer are final phrases; if fewer than six syllables, it is a short phrase; if exceeding twenty-six syllables, it is a long phrase.
