二得無師時節。律中開洗足飲水已，說依止。《十誦》：無好師，聽五六夜；有好師，乃至一夜不依止，得罪。《摩得伽》：至他所不相諳，委聽二三日選擇。此律亦爾。《五百問》云：若不依止，飲水食飯、坐臥床席，日日犯盜；若經十夏不誦戒者，罪同不依止。

Second, the occasions when one is permitted to be without a master. In the vinaya, it is permitted [only] after washing the feet and drinking water that one speaks of taking dependence. The Daśādhyāya-vinaya states: If there is no good master, five or six nights are permitted; if there is a good master, remaining without dependence for even a single night constitutes an offense. The Vinayamātṛkā states: Upon arriving at another place where people are not well acquainted, two or three days are permitted to choose. This vinaya is also like this. The Five Hundred Questions states: If one does not take dependence, then in drinking water, eating food, and sitting or lying on beds and mats, one commits theft day after day. If one has passed ten rains without reciting the precepts, the offense is the same as not taking dependence.
