The text explains the combined method: One should have one person, fully observing deportment, proclaim: 'May the venerable saṃgha listen! I, the bhikṣu, proclaim for the saṃgha the inner and outer marks of the great boundary on the four sides. First, I proclaim the inner marks: From the southeast outer corner of the small wall, piercing through the small wall westward, along the inside of the great wall to the southwest inner corner; from here, running north along the wall, passing through the west end of the small wall to the northwest outer corner of the small wall; from here, running east along the small wall to the northeast outer corner of the small wall; from here, exiting south back to the southeast outer corner of the small wall. This completes one circuit of the inner marks of the great boundary. Next, I proclaim the outer marks: From the southeast outer corner of the outer compound wall of the monastery, straight west to the southern gate's eastern jamb's outer earthen ledge; following the bend north to enter the inner ledge of the threshold; running west to the edge of the threshold at the western jamb of the gate; following the bend of the threshold south to the outer earthen ledge of the western jamb of the gate; from here, running west to the southwest outer corner; from here, running north to the northwest outer corner; from here, running east to the northeast outer corner; from here, running south back to the southeast outer corner. This completes one circuit of the outer marks of the great boundary. Those are the inner marks, and these are the outer marks. This is one circuit of the inner and outer marks of the great boundary.' Having done this three times, he announces to the saṃgha, 'The proclamation of the inner and outer marks of the great boundary is completed.'
