三中，《善見》。燒寺難緣故開。彼云：有人欲出家，比丘知父母不許，不敢與度；便云：僧若不度，我當燒寺；佛言：聽度。《五百問》，明制犯，初引示。此下，決通，初約義決犯。如下，引文示開。論即《善見》。初明度父母王法人。又下，次明度賊捉人。初時，謂未賣與人，不損彼財故。經主損財，故不得度。主賜姓者，令歸良也。據理得度，三藏無斷，故云無文。

In the third part, the Samantapāsādikā: an exception is made due to the emergency circumstance of burning the monastery. It says there: A person wished to leave household life. The bhikṣus knew that the parents did not permit it and did not dare ordain him. He then said: 'If the Saṅgha does not ordain me, I will burn down the monastery.' The Buddha said: 'I permit ordaining him.' The Five Hundred Questions clarifies the transgression of the prohibition. First it cites and indicates. Below, 'This...': resolving and opening up. First, resolving the transgression according to the principle. Below, 'As...': citing the text to show the exception. The treatise is the Samantapāsādikā. First, it clarifies ordaining people who belong to parents or the king's law. Below, 'Also...': next, it clarifies ordaining persons captured by bandits. 'Initial stage' means before being sold to another person, so that it does not damage that person's property. If it causes loss of property to the master, one must not ordain them. 'The master bestows a surname' means allowing him to return to commoner status. According to the principle, he may be ordained; the Tripiṭaka contains no prohibition, hence it is said 'there is no text'.
