The explanation says: "Others too have" means that "others" refers to the three refuges. Even if one does not undertake [the status of] a lay follower, but merely takes the three refuges, one also obtains [the vows of] dwelling nearby; therefore it says "others too have." If one does not take the three refuges, one certainly does not obtain [the vows of] dwelling nearby; therefore it says "without taking the three refuges, it does not exist." Or, if someone does not know that taking the three refuges is required before one first generates the discipline, or if they forget through error and directly undertake dwelling nearby, they also generate and obtain the discipline, because the moral discipline is generated through the power of intention.
