Provisional meaning (Skt. neyārtha; Wyl. drang don) - the teachings of the Buddha may be divided into those of provisional meaning and those of definitive meaning. Teachings of provisional meaning include the eight kinds of implied and indirect teachings.

When it comes to the meaning of what is taught,

You should know the provisional and definitive,

And rely not on any provisional meaning,

But only on the meaning that has certain truth.
