The amount (of time remaining in) the season should be told. The portion of days [or: portion of the day] should be told. The rehearsal should be told. The four supports should be told: [BMC]
utuppamāṇaṃ ācikkhitabbanti “vassāno hemanto gimho”ti evaṃ utuppamāṇaṃ ācikkhitabbaṃ. ettha ca utuyeva utuppamāṇaṃ. sace vassānādayo aparipuṇṇā honti, yattakehi divasehi yassa yo utu aparipuṇṇo, te divase sallakkhetvā so divasabhāgo ācikkhitabbo. atha vā “ayaṃ nāma utu, so ca kho paripuṇṇo vā aparipuṇṇo vā”ti evaṃ utuppamāṇaṃ ācikkhitabbaṃ. “pubbaṇho vā sāyanho vā”ti evaṃ divasabhāgo ācikkhitabbo.	“The amount (of time remaining in) the season should be told.” “The rainy season, the cold season, (or) the hot season”: this is how the measure of the season should be told. In this case, just the season is (called) the measure of the season. If the rainy season, etc., is not completed, then by however many days whichever season is incomplete, having calculated that day, “the portion of days” should be told. Or, “It is this season, and it is complete or incomplete”: this is how the amount (of time remaining in) the season should be told. “Morning or evening”: this is how the “portion of the day” should be told.
piṇḍiyālopabhojanaṁ nissāya pabbajjā tattha te yāvajīvaṁ ussāho karaṇīyo.	“Going-Forth has alms-food as its support. For the rest of your life you are to endeavor at that.
Atirekalābho saṅghabhattaṁ uddesabhattaṁ nimantanaṁ salākabhattaṁ pakkhikaṁ uposathikaṁ pāṭipadikaṁ.	“The extra allowances are: a meal for the Saṅgha, a meal for a specific number of monks, a meal for monks invited by name, a meal given by tickets, a meal given fortnightly, a meal on the Uposatha day, a meal on the day after the Uposatha.
