5.23

Third, regarding the explanation of the name: because the mind abandons the Mahāyāna, it is called "turning one's back on the orthodox"; because one venerates and respects the heterodox and Hīnayāna, it is called "heading toward the heterodox." The precept restrains and guards against this fault; hence it is called a precept.
