2.1343

次科，《僧祇》，初說毘尼。但非斷諍，故犯小罪。白即說欲。大小便不犯者，準此暫去即來，不須說欲。下明通經。亦須白者，止是白告比座，不必陳欲。中間餘語，非三藏正教故。

In the next section, the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya first discusses the Vinaya. Because it does not concern settling disputes, one incurs only a minor offense. "Declaring" means declaring one's consent (chanda). Regarding urinating or defecating not being an offense: based on this, if one leaves momentarily and returns immediately, one need not declare consent. Below, it clarifies reciting sūtras. That one must also declare merely means notifying one's seat-mate; one does not necessarily have to state one's consent. Other speech in between is because it is not the authentic teaching of the Tripiṭaka.
