金光明經文句記 3.167

3.167

初、作法。無作罪者，昔受佛戒，由作法故發無作體，若毀犯者得違逆罪。今由作法，翻破此罪。言性罪者，即十惡也。不論受與不受，犯之性自是罪。「如犯」下，論云「斬大草、殺畜，二罪同懺，二種違制之罪俱除，而殺畜償命猶存。」

First, ritual performance. As for offenses against the unmanifest: When one formerly received the Buddha's precepts, the unmanifest essence arose through ritual performance; if one violates them, one incurs the offense of disobedience. Now through ritual performance, one counteracts and destroys this offense. As for inherent offenses, these are the ten non-virtuous actions. Regardless of whether one has received [precepts] or not, violating them is inherently an offense. From 'as when violating' onward: The treatise states: 'If one repents the two offenses of cutting large grass and killing animals together, both offenses of disobeying regulations are eradicated, yet compensating with life for killing animals still remains.'
