Topic (adhikaraNa) 5 consists of suutras 5 - 11.
It seems to be called "iikSatyaadyadhikaraNam"
(iikSati? +ACs- aadi? +ACs- adhikaraNam; typically, the [possible]
long vowels are not indicated on
http://www.swami-krishnananda.org/bs+ACs-ACs-ACs-ACs-AF8-1/1-1-05.html;
furthermore, "sh" as in "shiva" is written as "plain"
"s", as in "siva" pro "shiva", and "sankara" pro "shankara",
and on that page "asabdam" pro "ashabdam",
aaarrrghh!)

The 5th suutra:

ikSaternaashabdam (iikSateH; na +ACs- ashabdam)

Glossary:

iikSateH  ?? "because it's seen"
na    not
azabda  mfn. soundless S3Br. xiv A1p. TPra1t. ; not Vedic Jaim.

Attempt at literal tranlation:

"from its being seen??" not not Vedic

Swami's translation:

 On account of seeing (i.e. thinking being attributed in the
Upanishads to the First Cause, the Pradhana) is not (the first cause
indicated by the Upanishads; for) it (Pradhana) is not based on the
scriptures.
