This, in brief, is the body of the bodhisattva's training. In detail, however, it has an exposition that does not end in measureless eons. Or, in short, there are two infractions of a bodhisattva: when he undertakes [an action] without examining what is appropriate and inappropriate to his capacity; [and] when, having desisted, he examines it, he is with an infraction. Having examined it, if he transgresses what is fitting, even when prompted by a Caṇḍāla slave, he is with an infraction. Why?
