第五、辨能詮教體者，以名句文及所依聲而為自性。或說五法為性：一、名；二、句；三、唱；四字；五、聲。然通論此體，總有四重：一、約事，具假實二法，如上辨；二、約實，以假歸實，唯以聲為性；三、約似，謂唯識所現，似聲等為性；四、約性，謂此聲等即空無性，無名無聲、無無名無無聲為自性，謂離性之性也。
Fifth, discerning the nature of the teaching that conveys meaning: It takes names, phrases, texts, and the sounds they rely on as its inherent nature. Some say it has five aspects as its nature: 1. Names 2. Phrases 3. Utterances 4. Words 5. Sounds
However, when discussing this nature comprehensively, there are generally four levels: 1. **From the perspective of phenomena** — it includes both provisional and real aspects, as explained above. 2. **From the perspective of the real** — the provisional is subsumed into the real, so only sound is taken as the nature. 3. **From the perspective of appearance** — it is what consciousness manifests, taking the appearance of sound and so forth as its nature. 4. **From the perspective of true nature** — these sounds and so on are empty and without inherent nature. No name, no sound, no absence of name, no absence of sound — this is its nature, which is the nature beyond nature.
