The next section refers to the detailed explanation. Now I shall briefly indicate the marks of the proper season and out-of-season. The one month or five months after the end of the summer are called the proper season; the rest is out-of-season. First, it explains that it is originally a robe of the season, but received out-of-season; therefore, beyond the season, ten more days are granted (that is, the urgent donation). Receiving a robe during the season was originally not an urgent donation, hence it is not granted externally (the summer robes obtained from the sixteenth onward). Second, when a robe received out-of-season carries over into the season, it must be assigned by proxy within ten days. (Obtaining an out-of-season robe before the summer ends, once the limit expires upon entering the season, it must be assigned by proxy.) Third, obtaining a robe within the season that is not a donation for the rains retreat: because the robe-privilege is wide, it is likewise granted within the one month or five months. Fourth, it explains that the five months of the kathina can subsume the one month, because both are the proper season. Fifth, the one month does not subsume the ten days, because the proper season and out-of-season are different. Understand it briefly like this.
