第八。人非中。初句是所為非。界下，即能秉非。上句明別眾；僧下，顯非數。言五百者，趣舉至多，顯非易得。五十法者，據〈足數〉中六十餘人；然第四門十一人猶足生善，故減言之。法非中。八種者，即受法中十種方便；除少分法，及教發戒緣；《隨機羯磨》亦立八耳（一請師，二安置，三白差，四出問，五召入，六乞戒，七戒師白，八對僧問。）；上即緣非。及下，正示法非。事非中。三位眾法，竝出界非；以局處故。

The eighth. Under 'invalidity of persons': the first line is the invalidity of the one for whom it is performed. From 'Boundary' downward is the invalidity of the one able to perform it. The upper line explains separating from the assembly; from 'Saṃgha' downward reveals what is not the [proper] number. 'Five hundred' is merely citing the maximum to show that it is not easily attained. 'Fifty procedures' is based on the more than sixty persons in the 'Quorum' chapter; however, the eleven persons in the fourth gate can still generate goodness, so the number is reduced in the statement. Under 'invalidity of procedure': 'eight kinds' refers to the ten preparatory stages in the ordination procedure; excluding the partial procedures and the condition of teaching to generate the precepts; the Random Karmavācanā also establishes only eight (first, requesting the preceptor; second, positioning; third, motion to assign; fourth, going out to question; fifth, calling in; sixth, requesting the precepts; seventh, the preceptor's motion; eighth, questioning before the saṃgha); the above is the invalidity of conditions. From 'And' downward directly shows the invalidity of procedure. Under 'invalidity of matter': the three stations of saṃgha procedures all exclude boundary invalidity, because of the restricted location.
