第三緣者。上並旁助,此正因本。必須開悟,方堪進受。若論發乞,合是兩緣;心口雖殊,希求義一,故合之耳。文下,引示。律中佛言教乞戒而不乞,不得受具足。又云:時有強與授戒,後便逃走還家,佛言不得強授人具足戒,即無心也。

As for the third condition: the above were all auxiliary aids, whereas this is the primary cause and basis. One must attain awakening before being capable of stepping forward to receive [the precepts]. If one discusses generating the aspiration and making the request, these should be two conditions; although mind and speech differ, the meaning of aspiring and seeking is one, hence they are combined. From "The text" downward, it cites and shows [this]. In the vinaya, the Buddha said that if one is instructed to request the precepts and does not request them, one does not obtain the full precepts. It also says: at one time someone was forcibly conferred the precepts, and afterwards he fled and returned home; the Buddha said that one must not forcibly confer the full precepts upon a person, which means having no intention.
