初科。列三種人；將去無罪，謂無守親也。三種者，落度為一；父母死為二，謂非所遣者；負債為三，則不論父母，但望債主，非守視故。注中，準負債人，以決世疑；疑謂度王稅人，出家成犯盜故。如〈受戒篇〉說。盜奴重者，主為守親故。

In the first section: it lists three kinds of persons; leading them away carries no guilt, meaning there is no guarding relative. The three kinds are: ordination without license is the first; parents being deceased is the second, meaning one not sent [by parents]; being in debt is the third, where regardless of parents, it is viewed only with respect to the creditor, who is not guarding them. In the notes, based on the debtor, it resolves worldly doubts; the doubt was that ordaining someone who owes royal taxes to go forth would constitute an offense of theft, as explained in the 'Chapter on Receiving Precepts'. Stealing a slave is grave because the master serves as the guarding relative.
