次科五節，初明佛自執作。佛在阿羅毘國，見寺門楣損，乃自修之。僧下，明作具。僧坊下，迴易修治。次僧坊下，制上座自作以勵餘人。猶恐目恃，仍引迦葉為況。《多論》云：舍利弗經營祇桓精舍目連經營五百精舍，彼論問曰：諸弟子所作已辦，何故方復棲悽有所經營，作諸福業，答：一為報恩故，二為長養佛法故，三為滅凡劣眾生作小福業自貢高故，四為將來弟子折伏憍豪心故，五為發起將來眾生福業故。比丘下，開道眾役務。上字上呼。

The next passage has five clauses. First, it explains the Buddha personally engaging in physical labor: when the Buddha was in the country of Āḷavī, seeing that the lintel of the monastery gate was damaged, he repaired it himself. From 'Saṃgha...' onward, it explains tools. From 'Monastic quarters...' onward, it discusses renovations and repairs. Next, from 'Monastic quarters...' onward, it ordains that senior monks should work personally to encourage others. Still fearing that they might rely on their status, it further cites Kāśyapa as an illustration. The Sarvāstivāda Vinaya Vibhāṣā says: Śāriputra supervised the Jetavana monastery, and Maudgalyāyana supervised five hundred monasteries. That treatise asks: 'All these disciples had already accomplished what was to be done; why then did they still exert themselves and manage affairs to perform various meritorious karmas?' It answers: 'First, to repay kindness; second, to foster the Buddha-Dharma; third, to suppress ordinary, inferior sentient beings who perform small meritorious karmas and become arrogant; fourth, to subdue the proud and arrogant minds of future disciples; fifth, to inspire the meritorious karma of future sentient beings.' From 'Bhikṣu...' onward, it permits community service for the assembly. The upper character is read in the rising tone.
