1.70

"The precepts are what properly accord" means that "proper" distinguishes them from the heterodox, and "accord" means not transgressing the truth; this goes against the stream of saṃsāra and accords with the stream of nirvāṇa. "The foundation of deliverance" means that the two kinds of deliverance, with remainder (sopadhiśeṣa) and without remainder (nirupadhiśeṣa), have the precepts as their basis, and hence they are called the foundation. "Prātimokṣa" takes up the name to confirm its meaning, because mokṣa is translated as deliverance. This reveals that the precept is named mokṣa by taking its title from the result.
