In the second section, the first line indicates the preceding ritual. Stating that the text lacks it clarifies that it was established on the basis of principle. From "Now" onward criticizes confusion. In the ancient karmavācanā texts, pāyattika and duṣkṛta shared the same ritual, the idea being that pratideśanīya is positioned above them, yet its phrases are already fewer than those for pāyattika; how could duṣkṛta instead be identical with the pāyattika ritual? Hence it says "now by summarizing," and so forth. (Some say that the character "already" [已] should be "by means of" [以]; this is incorrect.) From "Not" onward forestalls objections. That school combines pāyattika and duṣkṛta into a single ceremonial procedure; the tenets of the schools are distinct and must not be used arbitrarily.
