In the seventh section, it first teaches the gathering of disciples. The twenty-odd precepts are: (1) ordaining a pregnant woman; (2) ordaining a nursing mother; (3) ordaining one under the required age; (4) not granting two years of training in the precepts; (5) not granting the six rules; (6) when the training in the rules is complete, giving full ordination without the Saṅgha's permission; (7) ordaining an underage woman who was previously married, giving her [full ordination] when she is under twelve [years of age]; (8) when an underage woman has completed the training in the precepts, giving her [full ordination] without informing the Saṅgha (the above all regulate the upādhyāyinī); (9) knowingly conferring [full ordination] on her (this regulates the karmakāraka master); (10) not teaching the training in the precepts; (11) not attending upon the upādhyāyinī for two years (these [two] regulate the disciple); (12) conferring full ordination without the Saṅgha's permission; (13) acting as upādhyāyinī before having completed twelve years [as a bhikṣuṇī]; (14) having completed twelve years, immediately conferring full ordination on others without the Saṅgha's permission; (15) slandering the Saṅgha as having favoritism, etc., because the Saṅgha did not grant permission; (16) conferring full ordination without the permission of the parents or husband; (17) ordaining and making a woman go forth knowingly contrary to the Dharma; (18) having her abandon the training in the rules and conferring full ordination upon her; (19) demanding a robe from a śikṣamāṇā, claiming it is for conferring full ordination; (20) conferring full ordination on others when having completed less than one full year [since the previous ordination]; (21) having received the basic Dharma, passing the night before going into the monk Saṅgha; (22) not going to receive instruction when not sick. (All the above are pāyattika offenses.) Now, gathering disciples generally does not go beyond two [aspects]: first, gathering through material needs, which is robes and food; second, gathering through meaning, which is instruction in the Dharma. Robes and food may be lacking, but the Dharma cannot be absent. The Mahīśāsaka-vinaya states: gathering them personally for six years means the upādhyāyinī instructs them herself; bhikṣus [do so for] five rains-retreats, which marks the graded difference. If one has another gather them, it means entrusting them to someone else. Next, the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya explains receiving full ordination. 'Should seek half of them' is based on the fact that the original monk and nun [assemblies] each require ten persons; according to the exception for border regions, it is only five persons. 'More than half' means up to ten at most. In the note: because offenses from saṃghāvaśeṣa downwards are all sufficient for performing acts that generate wholesome doors, one only excludes those who have committed grave offenses; fearing that if one seeks perfection, the Dharma rite will be difficult to accomplish, one only selects the person who upholds the Dharma, while for the rest of the persons, as long as they have not committed a grave offense, they need not possess all excellences; hence it says 'moderately acceptable.' This applies when there is a lack of persons; if they are available, one must select them. Below 'Four-Part', the third is the regulation on relying on a teacher. Since the root Vinaya does not specify the number of years, the Mahīśāsaka-vinaya is cited to resolve it. Below 'the rest', it refers to the omitted text.
