第五門中言總別者,小乘法中初修多羅,亦總亦別,統攝十二,莫不皆是一修多羅,是故名總;就中隨義開分十一,餘所不收,還復攝在修多羅中,是故名別。餘之十一,一向是別。大乘法中修多羅部,望餘十一,義同前釋。方廣望餘,亦總亦別,統攝十二為一方廣,是故名總;於中開出餘之十一,餘所不收,還復攝在方廣部中,是故名別。餘十一部,一向是別。

In the fifth section, discussing comprehensive and distinct [aspects]: In the Hīnayāna Dharma, the primary sūtra is both comprehensive and distinct. It completely gathers the twelve, none of which is not a single sūtra; therefore it is called comprehensive. Within it, according to their meanings, eleven are divided off; what is not included in the rest is again subsumed under sūtra; therefore it is called distinct. The remaining eleven are strictly distinct. In the Mahāyāna Dharma, the sūtra genre in relation to the other eleven has the same meaning as explained before. Comprehensive discourse (vaipulya) in relation to the others is also both comprehensive and distinct: it completely gathers the twelve into a single vaipulya; therefore it is called comprehensive. Within it, the other eleven are unfolded; what is not included in the rest is again subsumed under the vaipulya genre; therefore it is called distinct. The remaining eleven genres are strictly distinct.
