In explaining the obstacles, first it distinguishes the obstacles, and then concludes them. Among the five obstacles, 'approaching females' means frequently approaching women. 'Losing mindfulness in an overt place' means encountering superior, manifest sensory objects in front of a crowd. 'Heedlessness while staying in concealment' means giving free rein to deviant thoughts when dwelling alone in a secluded place. 'Pervading concealed and overt places due to the power of habituation' means that due to this habituation, in concealed or overt places, one loses mindfulness and is heedless. 'Although applying expedient means...' means that when cultivating impurity, deviant thoughts become dominant and the mind follows the perception of purity.
