'Together with...' onwards removes flirting and joking. 'A śramaṇa...' onwards means not lying down first. 'Furthermore...' onwards means revering the seating place of the Saṃgha; by raising analogies and citing proof, this can be understood by consulting the text. In the sūtras, this refers to the Ratnacūḍa-sūtra; also, the Mañjuśrīparipṛcchā-sūtra states: 'After death, one sits upon an iron bed.' 'If...' onwards means not rising later.
