Under "age not full": In the *Vinayamātṛkā*, having "undergone the poṣadha" refers to doing so intentionally while knowing it; however, one must also determine it based on hearing and understanding. Next, in the *Dharmaguptaka-vinaya*, because one's age was not full, or because the act was invalid, causing doubt and distress to others, a pāyattika offense is instituted. Now he cites the text from the non-offense exceptions. The two characters "受者" (the recipient) should be read connected to the text above. The text brings up two matters. "Not full" can be understood. "Performing the act" means the motion and karma were not properly effected, being an illegitimate transaction with a fragmented assembly. "Knowing, etc." means knowing that one's age is indeed not full and the transaction is illegitimate; fearing subsequent doubt and regret, yet receiving offerings, veneration, and respect, one tells them to make them aware, and returns to one's original place to receive the precepts. Therefore, this is cited to demonstrate inversely that if one did not obtain the original ordination and yet rashly accepts salutations and offerings, it is living as a thief, just as in the *Vinayamātṛkā*.
