立教中，初二句，明開許。頓極者，總上二緣。作法分隔，示結法也。同界崇遵，明制約也。同遵羯磨，別眾不成。功成即自業無廢，事遂謂眾法易成，此彰益也。下句總結。又翻上釋者。局結反上通集，作法反上自然，同界反上十方；功成事遂，反上二損。

In establishing the teaching, the first two lines clarify the concession. "Utterly exhausted" summarizes the two conditions above. Delimiting through ritual procedure indicates the method of establishment. Revering and complying within the same boundary clarifies the institutional restriction. Concurrently complying with the karmavācanā prevents a schismatic assembly from forming. Success in merit means one's personal practice is not neglected; execution of matters means communal rites are easily accomplished—this manifests the benefits. The lower line concludes generally. Furthermore, explaining by inverting the above: restricted establishment inverts universal assembly; ritual procedure inverts the natural; the same boundary inverts the ten directions; and the success of merit and execution of matters inverts the two kinds of impairment above.
