4.25
When the circumambulation is finished, he then pays homage to the great assembly and the two masters. Afterwards, he takes his seat in the lowest place and receives the prostrations and gratitudes of the six kinds of relations. His mind cherishes joy at leaving home and departing from the secular world. His parents and all relatives all pay homage to him, gladdened by his aspiration for the Way. It is best to shave the head before noon, so that he may partake of the midday meal in time. According to the *Vinayamātṛkā* (Pinimu lun), having shaved the head and put on the kāṣāya, the upādhyāya then confers the three refuges, the five precepts, and so forth. (Other ritual procedures cannot be fully set forth; they should be weighed according to circumstances so that the generation of wholesome [qualities] will be ever greater.)
