First, within receiving precepts, it directly clarifies the expedient means of leaving home and receiving precepts, without elaborately revealing the reception; the full discussion of the marks of reception is as explained in the Vinaya. 'Immediately going to the monastery' is the place of leaving home; 'seeing the Tathāgata', etc., is the basis for leaving home; 'if he sees the Tathāgata and the Buddha's disciples' directly identifies the persons; 'complete in deportment, with faculties tranquil' clarifies that the body is worthy of respect; 'with harmonious minds and eradicated obstacles' clarifies that the mind is worthy of esteem; from 'immediately going...' onward directly clarifies leaving home.
