答曰：「一切不得。若受五戒，先受三歸，三歸既竟，乃得五戒。所以說五戒名者，欲使前人識戒名字。如白四羯磨竟已，便得具戒。所以說四依四墮、十三僧殘者，但為知故說。又言：『受三歸竟，說不殺戒，爾時得戒。』所以說一戒得五戒者，若能持一戒，五盡能持。又以五戒勢分相著故，兼以本意誓受五戒故。又言：『受五戒竟，然後得戒。』於諸說中，受三歸已，得五戒者，此是正義。如白四羯磨法，若受八戒，若受十戒，如五戒說。」

> Answer: "In all cases, one does not obtain them. If one receives the five precepts, one first receives the three refuges; once the three refuges are completed, one then obtains the five precepts. The reason the names of the five precepts are stated is to enable the recipient to recognize the names of the precepts. Just as when the motion with three announcements is completed, one immediately obtains the full precepts; the reason the four resources, four pārājikas, and thirteen saṃghāvaśeṣas are stated is merely for the sake of knowing them. It is also said: 'Once the three refuges are received, the precept against killing is stated, and at that time the precepts are obtained.' The reason stating one precept results in obtaining the five precepts is that if one can uphold one precept, one can uphold all five. Furthermore, it is because the power and aspects of the five precepts are linked together, and also because of one's original intention and vow to receive all five precepts. It is also said: 'One obtains the precepts only after the five precepts have been fully recited.' Among the various explanations, that one obtains the five precepts after having received the three refuges is the correct principle. Just as with the ritual of the motion with three announcements, receiving the eight precepts or receiving the ten precepts is explained in the same way as the five precepts."
