次問。以受本法，三位不收；故雙牒名體，問以決之。答中，初答體。言戒緣者，是正受方便故。問：既加羯磨，理必發體；既不發體，用受可為？問：五為十緣，十為具緣；五十二戒，各自有體；本法無體，其意云何？而下，次答名。由未發戒，體是下位；由加本法，名同上位；以於三眾，無所收故。

The next question: because having received the basic procedure, she is not subsumed under the three ranks, both name and essence are taken up together and questioned to resolve it. In the answer: the first part answers regarding essence. The words 'precept conditions' mean that it is the preparatory stage for direct conferral. Question: Since a karmavācanā was added, in principle it must generate an essence; since it does not generate an essence, what is the purpose of receiving it? Question: The five precepts are conditions for the ten, and the ten are conditions for full ordination; the five and ten precepts each have their own essence; what is the meaning of the basic procedure having no essence? From 'And...' downward, the second answers regarding the name. Because the precept has not yet been generated, the essence belongs to the lower rank; because the basic procedure has been added, the name is the same as the upper rank; this is because she is not subsumed under any of the three assemblies.
