六念中，初指同。不同俗者，簡濫也；化教，令念三寶及戒天施，名為六念。制通沙彌者，明須念所以也；五眾通制，不唯大僧。至下，顯別。今年若干，即生年也；某年等受戒，出家年也。以下，示意。大僧但記得戒時分，不念生年。沙彌生法二年以分上下，故須雙念。

Under the six mindfulnesses: First, pointing out the similarity. 'Unlike the worldly' clarifies the distinction and eliminates confusion; the teaching for transforming others instructs mindfulness of the Triratna, the precepts, devas, and generosity, which is called the six mindfulnesses. Extending the prohibition to śrāmaṇeras clarifies the reason why they must be mindful; it is a universal prohibition for the five assemblies, not only for fully ordained monks. Down to 'attaining' below, it manifests the difference. 'This year being such-and-such' refers to chronological age; 'receiving precepts in such-and-such year' is the monastic seniority. From here downward, it shows the intention. Fully ordained monks only remember the time of receiving the precepts, not their chronological age. Śrāmaṇeras distinguish seniority by both chronological and Dharma years, and therefore must be mindful of both.
