大般涅槃經義記 5.25

5.25

Below, the fourth [section] re-examines the upholding [of precepts] discussed earlier. First, it mentions two numbers, next lists them, and later explains them. Below, it clarifies that the bodhisattva upholds minor [precepts] as equal to grave ones. In explaining the marks, the naturally grave ones are evident. In quelling worldly disparagement, it first cites and then explains. In the explanation, there are four: first, not obtaining what is improper; second, from 'destroying and completing' downward, not expending what is improper; third, from 'fields and houses' downward, not storing what is improper; fourth, from 'not watching elephant fights and horse fights' downward, not practicing what is improper. The first two are evident. In the third section, there are eight distinct clauses: first, not storing fields, houses, farming, and the like; second, from 'not storing elephants' downward, not storing animals; third, from 'young boys' downward, not storing male or female servants; fourth, from 'gold and silver' downward, explaining that one does not store precious and valuable things; fifth, from 'all grains' downward, not storing food utensils; sixth, from 'the robes one has received' downward, not storing extra robes; seventh, from 'not storing root seeds' downward, explaining that one does not store the five kinds of seeds for propagation; eighth, from 'not storing jewels' downward, not storing various arrogant and luxurious items. The rest are all evident; from 'this is called' downward concludes it.
