第四,開制中,初文,《增一》。彼因梵志將女施佛,佛不受;時一老比丘勸佛受取與我,佛訶云:汝昔曾為羅剎惑,今復還遭此女迷。《僧祇》中,初示通制。若言下,別簡,初明開僧。唯須男子。若施下,明制別。下雖開受,還是為僧。後若施下,明尼開制。

Fourth, regarding exceptions and prohibitions: the first passage is from the Ekottarāgama. That was on the occasion when a brāhmaṇa offered his daughter to the Buddha, but the Buddha would not accept; at that time an old bhikṣu urged the Buddha to accept her and give her to him, and the Buddha rebuked him, saying, "Formerly you were deluded by a rākṣasa, and now you are once again bewildered by this woman." In the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya: first, the general prohibition is shown. From "if it is said" downward, distinguishing specifically, it first clarifies the exception for the Saṃgha. Only men are permitted. From "if it is given" downward, it clarifies the prohibition for individuals. Although receiving is permitted below, it is still on behalf of the Saṃgha. Later, from "if it is given" downward, it clarifies exceptions and prohibitions for bhikṣuṇīs.
