次明敬僧法。若眾主是和尚、闍梨，隨徒並是弟子者；縱有十人、二十人，立奉敬者，亦無有違。傳云：佛見僧來便立者，此無正教。若師僧犯僧殘已下罪者，必欲行別住，佛制：弟子經理，亦須恭敬禮拜；為僧設禮，非禮弟子（如是例之）。

Next, explaining the method of respecting the Saṃgha. If the leader of the assembly is an upādhyāya or ācārya, and all the accompanying followers are disciples, even if there are ten or twenty people who stand and render respect, there is no violation. The tradition that says 'the Buddha stood when he saw the Saṃgha coming' has no scriptural authority. If the master monk has committed an offense of saṃghāvaśeṣa or below and must undergo parivāsa, the Buddha instituted that the disciples who manage his affairs must also revere and pay homage to him; this is offering respect on behalf of the Saṃgha, not paying homage to the disciple [himself] (the rest follow this pattern).
