法附中。既受具戒，即須六念，憶戒緣身。師當先授。因附此篇。牒章中，注明所出。若準《四分》，衣食起觀，俯仰威儀，常爾一心，念除諸蓋。此據通相，觀行尤難。今此《僧祇》，別指六緣，制令繫意。近而可別，簡而易成。故引彼文，通成今用。

Under appending procedures: having received the full precepts, one immediately needs the six recollections, recollecting the precepts in connection with the body. The master should transmit them first. Therefore they are appended to this chapter. In quoting the chapter heading, notes indicate the source. According to the Dharmaguptaka, arousing contemplation over robes and food, in all deportment of bending and looking up, constantly being of one mind, mindful of eliminating the hindrances: this is based on general marks, where contemplative practice is especially difficult. Now, this Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya specifically points to six conditions, prescribing that the attention be fixed. Being immediate, they can be distinguished; being concise, they are easy to accomplish. Therefore its text is cited to universally establish their present use.
