In the sixth part: In the first passage, the text of the *Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya* has two parts. First, it orders the change of name. That is, when performing the ritual, one should say 'So-and-so, a bhikṣu of zero years.' Below 'If...', next it clarifies the loss of the procedure. First, it clarifies loss through death. In the note rebuking errors, it first presents a divergent opinion. The Commentary cites: 'If the genuine owner dies, one must change the person; if the indirect owner is not face-to-face, what trouble would it be again?' Below 'This...', it rebukes this based on the text. The primary Vinaya refers to the text above. Since it says 'if he dies, speak it again,' in principle it applies to both types of purification; how can one rigidly cling [to just one]? Moreover, in the genuine method, the five groups do not alternate; above, giving to a śrāmaṇera clearly indicates indirect [purification], so one knows that wrongful clinging departs significantly from the correct standard. Below 'If not...', next it clarifies loss through lack of knowledge. This is easy to understand.
