次科。自然集者，僧作法界，尼望為自然故；唱相結者，一依僧界。《五百問》中，不得相又，以法故。本法置外者，據非別眾；但名同上位，為防濫疑；縱在界中，不妨僧法。

In the next section, 'assembled by nature' means that the monks make the legal boundary, and from the nuns' perspective it is considered natural; 'delineating by proclaiming landmarks' means adhering entirely to the monks' boundary. In the Five Hundred Questions, they may not overlap each other, because of the legal act. 'Placing the original method outside' is based on not being a separate saṃgha; their name is merely identical to the higher rank, so this prevents confusion and doubt; even if they are within the boundary, it does not impede the monks' legal acts.
