答中，初科。此師正約作羯磨人以辨俱互。《業疏》云：今解皆望同坐展轉，不約作羯磨者。（疏標今解，前是古義不疑。）文中，初二句總判。故下，別釋；初準說戒，明互離不失。離此下，即明俱離失。言二人者，初人更須離見，後人又復離聞，則是俱離矣。必下，次準隔障明互離失。成上互不定義。

In the answer: The first section. This master defines both and mutual specifically with respect to the person performing the karmavācanā. The Karma Commentary states: "The present interpretation views it throughout with reference to those sitting together in succession, not with reference to the person performing the karmavācanā." (The commentary flags this as "the present interpretation"; the former is undoubtedly the ancient view.) In the text: The first two sentences give an overall determination. "Therefore..." below explains specifically; first, based on the poṣadha, it explains that mutual separation does not cause loss. "Separated from this..." below explains that separation from both causes loss. As for saying "two persons": the first person must further be separated from sight, and the latter person must again be separated from hearing; then it is separation from both. "If definitely..." next explains, based on screening barriers, that mutual separation causes loss. This accomplishes the aforesaid meaning of mutual indefiniteness.
