In [the section] elucidating the purpose, it first explains the reason for repeating it. From "If not" onwards, it delivers an admonition. From "vinaya" onwards, it cites proof. Mouthful by mouthful, intake by intake, it is not merely for a short duration; the four requisites are to be universally contemplated, not food and drink alone. "If not" refers to what that text says: if one receives the faithful offerings of others and does not use them according to the Dharma, being negligent in mind and abandoning the cultivation of the path, one will enter the three bad destinies to undergo severe suffering; if one does not incur the suffering retribution, when eating another's faithful offerings, the food will burst through one's belly and emerge, and the robes will detach from one's body, and so forth.
