1.3

對首安居法　大德一心念。我比丘某甲。今依某甲僧伽藍（若在俗人家應云依某甲聚落也）前三月夏安居房舍破修治故（三說前人問言）汝依誰持律（答云）某甲律師（彼應報云）有疑當問答云爾（小者□頂戴持）若四月十七日後乃至五月十六日並應言。後三月夏安居（餘法同上）一人心念。安居法唯除大德一心念及下問答。自外一同對首法（莫問對首及與心念。若在白衣家時。須除房舍破修治故。餘悉同上。比丘不得為俗人。作使隨所作者得突吉羅）。

Face-to-face procedure for the rains retreat: 'May the bhadanta focus his mind. I, the bhikṣu [name], now rely on such-and-such a saṅghārāma (if in a layperson's house, one should say: 'rely on such-and-such a village') for the first three months of the summer rains retreat, for the sake of repairing broken-down dwellings.' (To be said three times. The person addressed asks:) 'Whom do you rely upon as vinayadhara?' (He answers:) 'Vinayācārya [name].' (The other should respond:) 'When you have doubts, you must inquire.' He answers, saying: 'Indeed.' (The junior […] places it on his crown to uphold.) If after the seventeenth day of the fourth month up to the sixteenth day of the fifth month, one should uniformly say: 'the latter three months of the summer rains retreat.' (The remaining procedure is the same as above.) For one person's mental resolution rains retreat procedure, one merely eliminates 'May the bhadanta focus his mind' and the questions and answers below; otherwise, it is entirely identical to the face-to-face procedure. (Regardless of whether it is face-to-face or mental resolution, if staying in a layperson's house, one must remove 'for the sake of repairing broken-down dwellings'; the rest is completely as above. A bhikṣu must not perform menial labor for laypeople; whatever he does, he incurs a duṣkṛta.)
