Under the explanation, in the first section, the Dharmaguptaka-vinaya first clarifies the violation. The two preceding lines explain the military formation. "Play" refers to times of travel and training; "true" refers to actual combat. The Vinaya writes "whether play or combat"; its characteristics can be understood. From "if the army" onward, it next clarifies encountering it. "Preparatory stage" means that although one stepped off the road, one stole glances and looked sideways. From "if being" onward, it clarifies no violation. The Vinaya lists multiple kinds: namely, going if there is business; or if one steps off the road to avoid fierce beasts, danger from thieves, high floodwaters, threats to life or celibacy, etc., not stepping off the road entails no violation.
