列示中三，初受戒中，前出古解。結戒場法，亦名小界，故得準之。彼計問難安立，並須界內；獨此一種，須立外相。今下，直示正義，指斥如後。文義並見次科。下列說、恣。直坐圓坐，此亦循古一往分之，義必無在。

Under 'Listing and Demonstrating': there are three [parts]. First, under 'Receiving Precepts', the ancient interpretation is set forth first. The method of establishing an ordination arena is also called a small boundary, so it can serve as a precedent. They held that both questioning about impediments and installation must be inside the boundary; only for this single type must external markers be established. From 'Now...' onward, the correct doctrine is directly shown, with the refutation given below. Both the text and the meaning are seen in the next section. Below, 'poṣadha and pravāraṇā' are listed. Sitting in a straight line and sitting in a circle—this also follows the ancients in making a prima facie distinction, which in principle is completely unnecessary.
