In the fourth [part], on the exceptions for keeping, first it generally lists the marks of excess [requisites]. Five are summarized into three: the upper two are both treasures; the middle two are both robes. From 'Major treasures' down, it specifically explains the two treasures. First, it explains major treasures, which are the seven kinds above; this concerns forfeiture upon violation, hence it says 'confess the offense'. Next, from 'If money' down, it explains simulated treasures. 'And the one hundred and one articles': the character 'and' (及) is a scribal error; according to the treatise, it should be the character 'except' (除), because the one hundred and one articles do not need to be forfeited. From 'Money and treasures' down, it shows the two kinds of purification procedures: the first is the bhikṣu's words to the donor, intending to take it and hand it over to a purificant. 'If purified, one should receive it' refers to exchanging it for pure items. Second is the purificant holding the item and speaking to the bhikṣu. According to this treatise, this was originally not a purification procedure, which is why both say 'should'. If one has already performed this, one need not say it again; the character 'should' (當) is pronounced in the departing tone. From 'If forfeited' down, it selects the pure owner; this can be understood.
