諸結戒法第一
結戒場文(兩界不得並。若欲大界內安戒場者，先竪戒場，四方內相外相相去一肘。使人唱內一周竟，言「此是內相，彼為外相」。如是第二、第三唱。眾中堪能羯磨者結。不得受欲，以未結界故。)
Text on Establishing the Ordination Platform(Two boundaries cannot overlap. If one wishes to set up an ordination platform within a large boundary, first demarcate the ordination platform, with the inner and outer markers spaced one cubit apart. Have a person announce along the inner perimeter once, saying, "This is the inner marker; that is the outer marker." Repeat this a second and third time. A competent member of the assembly then performs the formal act to establish it. One cannot delegate authority for this, as the boundary has not yet been established.)
大德僧聽！此住處比丘某甲，唱四方小界相。若僧時到僧忍聽，僧今於此四方小界相內結作戒場。白如是。
Venerable Assembly of Monks, please listen! The monk So-and-So of this dwelling place announces the boundaries of the four-sided minor area. If the assembly is present and consents, the assembly will now establish a precept platform within these boundaries of the four-sided minor area. This is the declaration.
大德僧聽！此住處比丘某甲，唱四方小界相。僧今於此四方小界相內結作戒場。誰諸長老忍僧於此四方小界相內結作戒場者默然，誰不忍者說。僧已忍於此四方小界相內結作戒場竟。僧忍，默然故，是事如是持。
結大戒文(應次結大界。先標榜四方大界定相，牆周外不用遠，喜妨布薩人。三唱。眾中堪使羯磨者結。亦不得受欲，以未結界故。)
大德僧聽！此住處比丘某甲，唱四方大界相。若僧時到僧忍聽，僧今於此四方大界相內結大界，同一住處，同一說戒。白如是。
Venerable Assembly of Monks, hear this! The monk [Name] of this dwelling place announces the boundaries of the great territory in the four directions. If the assembly is present and consents, the assembly will now, within these announced boundaries of the great territory in the four directions, establish the great boundary, making it one dwelling place and one place for the recitation of the precepts. This is the declaration.
大德僧聽！此住處比丘某甲，唱四方大界相。僧今於此四方大界相內結大界，同一住處，同一說戒。誰諸長老忍僧於此四方大界相內結大界，同一住處，同一說戒者默然，誰不忍者說。僧已忍於此四方大界相內，同一住處，同一說戒，結大界竟。僧忍，默然故，是事如是持。
Venerable Sangha, listen! The monk named [Name] has declared the boundaries of this dwelling place. The Sangha now establishes the Great Boundary within these declared limits, making this one unified dwelling place with one shared recitation of the precepts. Which venerable elders consent to the Sangha establishing the Great Boundary within these limits, making it one dwelling place with one recitation of the precepts? Let those who consent remain silent. Let anyone who does not consent speak. The Sangha has consented to establishing the Great Boundary within these limits, making it one dwelling place with one recitation of the precepts. The matter is thus settled. Since the Sangha has consented and remained silent, this matter is thus upheld.
結不失衣界文(不失衣界更無別相，依大界相結，故言此住處。)
The boundary for not losing the robe is not a separate entity; it is established based on the boundaries of the great assembly. Therefore, it is said that this is the dwelling place.
大德僧聽！此住處同一住處，同一說戒。若僧時到僧忍聽，僧今結不失衣界，除村、村外界。白如是。
Venerable Sangha, hear this! This dwelling place is one dwelling place, one place for reciting the precepts. If the Sangha is ready and the Sangha consents, the Sangha now establishes the boundary within which the robe is not to be set aside, excluding the village and the area beyond the village. This is the declaration.
大德僧聽！此住處同一住處，同一說戒。僧今結不失衣界，除村、村外界。誰諸長老忍僧於此住處同一住處，同一說戒，結不失衣界，除村、村外界者默然，誰不忍者說。僧已忍同一住處，同一說戒，結不失衣界，除村、村外界竟。僧忍，默然故，是事如是持。(若二界相近，應留中間，不得相接。若欲解界，應先解不失衣界，却解大界。不得隔駛流水，或時能斷渡，除常有橋梁耳。)
Venerable Sangha, listen! This dwelling place is established as a single dwelling, a single recitation boundary. The Sangha now establishes the robe-not-lost boundary, excluding the village and its outskirts. Which venerable elders consent to the Sangha establishing this dwelling as a single dwelling, a single recitation boundary, and setting the robe-not-lost boundary, excluding the village and its outskirts? Let those who consent remain silent; let those who do not consent speak. The Sangha has consented to establishing a single dwelling, a single recitation boundary, and setting the robe-not-lost boundary, excluding the village and its outskirts. The matter is thus settled, as the Sangha consents through silence.(If two boundaries are close, a space should be left between them; they must not connect. If one wishes to dissolve a boundary, the robe-not-lost boundary should be dissolved first, then the greater boundary. A boundary must not cross a swiftly flowing stream, unless there is a permanent bridge.)
