'Five or six sentences' refers to five or six categories. For instance, the five aggregates are five categories, and the six sense-bases are six categories; explaining five or six categories extensively does not yet constitute an offence. If there is a discerning man alongside as a third party who distinguishes between purity and defilement, there is no limit on the amount. The sixth fascicle of the Sarvāstivāda-śāstra states that he must be a white-robed layman; if he is a monastic, he cannot \[serve as the witness\], because their circumstances are the same. If we follow this Vinaya, below, in the presence of valuables facing a husband, a fourth person is permitted, not facing \[the husband\] a third person is permitted, and for sitting in the open with a woman a third person is permitted. The texts of the Vinaya all say: 'If there are two monks as companions, it is not an offence.' Accordingly, this differs from the Sarvāstivāda-śāstra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807.2.40) - [Next: 2.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807.2.42) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807~en-mt.2.41) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807.2.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807.2.41) · Pramāṇa
