Commentary on the Discourse on Dwelling Apart

127. In the seventh, "not able to withdraw from the monastic community" means not proper to go out from the Community and live alone.

"Able to withdraw from the monastic community" means because of belonging to the four directions, having gone out from the Community, he is proper to live alone; but because of being an adornment to the Community, he is proper to live in the Community as well. The eighth is of clear meaning.
