次科，簡淨中，初三句簡定。文略自恣。以下，釋成，初釋說戒。上句制能說，下句制所聽。後釋懺罪。上句制能懺，下句制所受。問：一切羯磨，生善滅惡二門統收，如何分之？答：如諸悔罪治擯滅諍設諫等法，名為滅惡；已外一切，並號生善；昔見下云生善，便科此為滅惡；致令後學妄謂說恣同滅惡收。當知文中具明二種，說戒是生善，懺悔屬滅惡；有智考之，幸無混亂。

In the next section, on distinguishing purity, the first three sentences distinguish and determine it. The text omits pavāraṇā. From "below" onward, it explains and establishes it: first it explains poṣadha. The upper clause restricts the one capable of reciting, and the lower clause restricts the one listening. Next, it explains the confession of offenses. The upper clause restricts the one capable of confessing, and the lower clause restricts the one receiving [the confession]. Question: "All karmans are subsumed under the two approaches of generating good and extinguishing evil; how are they divided?" Answer: "Rites such as various confessions of offenses, disciplinary punishments, expulsions, settling disputes, and administering admonitions are called extinguishing evil; everything outside these is named generating good. Formerly, seeing the phrase 'generating good' below, people classified this as extinguishing evil, causing later students to falsely assume that poṣadha and pavāraṇā are both subsumed under extinguishing evil. One should know that both kinds are fully clarified in the text: poṣadha belongs to generating good, while confession belongs to extinguishing evil. If the wise examine this, let them fortunately not confuse them."
