四分律行事鈔資持記 1.957

辭去中為二，初明訶責懺謝又二，初明求人調和法。應知下，令師觀察。《律》下，二自對求懺法，前明弟子勤懇。若下下，制師必受。次若知下，明知非捨離，初聽他誘去。《律》開必能長益沙門果者，故知能誘必約好師。若弟子下，二自白捨去。五種即下白法五句。依師本意，檢過策勤。五並不知，師義安在；去非就道，固其宜矣。

Under taking leave and departing, there are two parts. First, explaining rebuke and seeking forgiveness, which again has two parts. First, explaining the method of seeking someone to mediate. From "Should know" downward, having the master observe. From "The Vinaya" downward, second, the method of seeking forgiveness in person; the former explains the disciple's diligence and sincerity. From "If the lowest" downward, regulating that the master must accept it. Next, from "If he knows" downward, explaining knowing the fault and leaving; first, permitting another to entice him away. The Vinaya allows this if it can definitely increase the fruits of the śramaṇa; hence we know that the one who can entice must be a good master. From "If a disciple" downward, second, reporting oneself and departing. "Five kinds" refers to the five clauses of the reporting method below. The original intention of relying on a master is to examine faults and urge diligence. If he is ignorant of all five, where is the master's function? Departing from the wrong and turning toward the Path is indeed appropriate.
