大般涅槃經集解 44.18

44.18

案僧亮曰：第二門，明一者心念殺能殺人、二者心口殺、三者具身口殺。王不具三業，故罪輕也。僧宗曰：第四翻明三業具則罪重。但有心口而無身業，罪則輕也。寶亮曰：第二明罪福不在因緣中。

Sengliang comments: The second approach explains: first, killing with mental intention alone can kill a person; second, killing with mind and speech; third, killing fully equipped with body and speech. The king did not possess all three karmas, and therefore his sin is light. Sengzong says: The fourth turn explains that when the three karmas are complete, the sin is heavy; if there are only mind and speech without bodily karma, the sin is light. Baoliang says: The second explains that sin and merit do not reside within causes and conditions.
