46. Starting on the evening of the fourteenth, the day before the lifting restrictions rite is performed. The upholders of the sūtras, the vinaya, or the mātṛkā should decide what teachings they will discuss based on how much time they have before the act of lifting the restrictions begins before dawn. The act to lift restrictions must be completed before dawn, so they should leave enough time between the end of their talk and dawn to perform the act of lifting restrictions (Kalyāṇamitra, F.325.b.2–3) . Note that Kalyāṇamitra (F.325.b) records chos mnyan pa sbyin par bya’o (“should give a Dharma hearing” i.e. a teaching or recitation) in place of chos bshad par bya (“should explain the Dharma”). See Kalyāṇamitra, F.325.a–b : mtshan thog thag tu chos mnyan pa sbyin par bya’o zhes bya ba ni tshes bcu bzhi la seng ge’i khri brgyan pa bshams nas do nub mtshan thog thag chos mnyan pa ’byung bar ’gyur gyi der tshe dang ldan pa dag gis chags pa sbyin par bya’o zhes spyod yul du brjod nas/ mdo sde dang ’dul ba dang/ ma mo ’dzin pa gsol ba gdab pa dag gis tshes bcu bzhi’i mtshan thog thag tu kha ton du ’don par chos mnyan pa sbyin par bya’o.
