2.26

問:「先比丘教化作百人齋,長一人以上,應受不?教化比丘有犯不?」答:「打揵槌食應受,教化者無犯。所以爾者,打揵槌謂僧多過失。揵槌法,要作意請四方僧。僧來若多若少,一切分財飲食其於無咎。」

Question: "Previously, a bhikṣu solicited a vegetarian feast for one hundred people, but there is a surplus of one or more persons. Should they be received? Has the soliciting bhikṣu committed an offense?"
Answer: "When the ghaṇṭā is struck for the meal, they should be received, and the soliciting bhikṣu commits no offense. Why is this so? Striking the ghaṇṭā is intended to prevent the saṃgha from incurring many faults. In the procedure of the ghaṇṭā, one must mentally intend to invite the saṃgha of the four quarters. Whether the bhikṣus who arrive are many or few, when all property and food are distributed among them, there is no fault."
