首楞嚴義疏注經 8.516

8.516

分越者，過分也，不依本分越過而行，謂非理苦役不問輕重，或晝夜不息，食噉無度。如是等類悉合返徵其剩。今有恃尊貴以縱恣，倚豪勢以奢侈，貪其力而多役，取其味而枉殺，不捨晨暮，罔測勞苦，福盡徵剩，其宜者哉！

'Exceeding the amount' means going beyond measure, not keeping to one's proper bound and transgressing it—namely, unjust and grueling labor without regard for light or heavy, or working day and night without rest, or consuming and devouring without limit. All such kinds ought to conversely demand back the excess. Nowadays there are those who rely on high status to be willful, lean on wealth and power to be extravagant, crave others' labor and overwork them, or seek their taste and unjustly slaughter them, ceaseless from morning to night, heedless of their toil. When their blessings are exhausted, the excess is demanded back—how fitting it is!
