答：《疏》敘勝論諸門義中廣自分別現、非現境，豈可前後自相魚肉？若言疏主談本六句言五現量，《疏》之上下何不說言「五唯現量」？既不言「唯」，故知《疏》意據此句中有現量境名五現也。

Answer: In the Commentary, when presenting the doctrines of the Vaiśeṣika across various topics, it broadly distinguishes between perceptual and non-perceptual objects on its own; how could its earlier and later parts devour each other? If one claims that the author of the Commentary, in discussing the original six categories, said the five are directly perceived, why do the preceding and following parts of the Commentary not say "the five are exclusively directly perceived"? Since it does not say "exclusively", we know that the Commentary's intent is based on the fact that within these categories there are objects of direct perception, and hence calls them "five perceptual ones".
