瑜伽師地論略纂 6.140

第四段，聲明處有二：初結前標列、後隨別釋。　「法施設建立，謂名身、句身」等者，出聲明體。　「及五德」等者，由彼聲體具五德故，方成聲論，勝能詮聲。聲論者說，謂名、句、文體即是聲，聲性是常，音響是無常，無常之響顯於常聲，若知常聲，名曰聲明。　「義施設建立」者，聲明所詮之義，以彼聲明依能詮、所詮而建立故。　又說六種中，「差別相應義」者，諸法同類，互得相應，體差別故。　「轉義」者，如於一法無量義門差別而轉，如一色法可見、不可見等諸義別轉。

The fourth section, on the topic of grammar (śabdavidyā), has two parts: first, summing up the preceding and laying out the list; second, explaining them individually. "The designation and establishment of phenomena, namely word-groups, phrase-groups," etc., sets forth the substance of grammar. "And the five virtues," etc.: because the substance of that sound possesses the five virtues, it then forms the treatise on grammar (śabda-śāstra), the superior expressive sound. Grammarians say that the substance of names, phrases, and phonemes is sound itself; the nature of sound is eternal, whereas vocal resonance is impermanent. The impermanent resonance reveals the eternal sound; knowing this eternal sound is called grammar. "The designation and establishment of meaning" is the meaning expressed by grammar, because grammar is established based on the expresser and the expressed. Furthermore, among the six kinds explained, "the meaning of distinctive association" means that phenomena of the same category can be mutually associated because their substances are distinct. "The meaning of transformation" is like the transformation of a single phenomenon through countless distinctive aspects of meaning, as when a single physical form is distinctively transformed into meanings such as visible, invisible, and so forth.
