淨水物中，初引《僧祇》三節，初明淨手。當先淨者，文似說戒師，今即行籌人。香汁浴之者，上是淨水，此即香湯，二並淨手。誦下，二明置籌。此開數戒，與前不同。雜碎文句，即戒條也；《多論》云：十二年前常說一偈；今說五篇，名為雜碎。五百對一部數則過倍，七百對二部猶多百餘；此謂籌數宜多，不必限定故也。若下，三明所須眾具。誰應下，即預差三人。或容施物，須人呪願；下《五分》中，即令維那為之；此方事稀，故不行耳。《四分》中。眾具同上。但明年少具辨，上座處分；尊卑之任，不相亂也。

In pure water and requisites, it first cites three sections from the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya, beginning with purifying the hands. "Should first purify" seems in the text to refer to the master reciting the precepts, but here it refers to the person distributing tallies. "Bathing them in fragrant juice": the above was pure water, and this is fragrant decoction; both purify the hands. From "Reciting..." onward, the second explains placing the tallies. This allows counting the precepts, which differs from before. "Miscellaneous phrases" refers to the precept articles; the Sarvāstivāda Vinaya Vibhāṣā says: before the twelfth year, they always recited a single verse; now reciting the five divisions is called miscellaneous. Five hundred exceeds double the count for one section, and seven hundred is still more than a hundred over for two sections; this means the number of tallies should be plentiful and need not be strictly limited. From "If..." onward, the third explains the required communal requisites. From "Who should..." onward, it means appointing three persons in advance. Or, perhaps accepting donated articles requires someone to utter the benediction; below in the Mahīśāsaka-vinaya, the karmadāna is instructed to do this; in this land such occasions are rare, so it is not performed. In the Dharmaguptaka-vinaya, the communal requisites are the same as above. It only explains that junior monks prepare them and the elder directs; the duties of the senior and junior are not confused.
