Under the second, explaining the number of complete branches, 'four branches of a monk' is like the six branches of śīla explained in the Śrāvakabhūmi. Here in this text, the six are subsumed into four. First, 'attaining completeness' is abiding in pure śīla. Second, 'undertaking the trainings concordant with the Dharma' is properly guarding the prātimokṣa precepts. Third, 'concordantly guarding the minds of others' consists of the third [branch], having complete proper conduct, which is the precepts of deportment, and the fourth, having complete range of activity, which is not frequenting slaughterhouses and the like. Fourth, 'concordantly guarding the trainings as undertaken' consists of the fifth, seeing great terror in minor faults, and the sixth, undertaking to train in the trainings.
