曲解羯磨。前通眾別，別法可解，故此一章唯明眾法。敘意中，初三句，顯意。綱要者，即初釋文，是羯磨大體（不必強分綱緣）。通塞者，即後料簡，示文義差別（不必局指一科）。若下，示妄謂。然下，明非處。上二句是縱，下二句是奪。言知處者，綱定不成，緣通成否。未可一概，故云不得等。（禮云無雷同，注云雷之發聲，物無不同時應者。）

Detailed explanation of karmavācanā. Previously, saṃgha and individual were both treated; individual procedures can be understood, so this one chapter exclusively clarifies saṃgha procedures. In narrating the intention, the first three lines show the intention. 'Guiding principles' refers to the initial explanation of the text, which is the main substance of the karmavācanā (one need not forcibly divide guiding principles and conditions). 'Openness and obstruction' refers to the subsequent differentiation, showing the distinctions in textual meaning (one need not restrictively point to a single section). From 'If' downward shows false assumptions. From 'Yet' downward explains the point of error. The upper two lines are concession, and the lower two lines are refutation. 'Knowing the point' means that guiding principles are definitely invalid [if altered], while conditions may admit validity or invalidity. One cannot treat them uniformly, hence it says 'one must not', and so forth. (The Rites state: 'Do not thunderously echo [others]'; the commentary says: 'When thunder makes sound, nothing fails to respond simultaneously.')
