四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 1.251

1.251

問：羯磨竟時，其文何所？答：解者多途。今一法以定，謂第三說已，云僧已忍，與某事竟，此時羯磨竟。不同前解第三說已名為竟也。故律云：忍者默然，不忍者說。今即說其不忍之意，便成訶破；必其忍默，三說已無訶，亦成。任意兩得。餘廣如《義鈔》。

Question: When the karman is finished, at what point in the text is that? Answer: Commentators hold many different views. We now determine it by one principle: after the third proclamation has been spoken, when it says 'the saṃgha has consented, conferring such-and-such a matter is finished,' at this point the karman is finished. This differs from the previous interpretation that it is finished upon the completion of the third proclamation. Thus the Vinaya says: 'Those who consent, remain silent; let him who does not consent speak.' Now, if someone expresses his objection, it becomes a protest and invalidation; but if they consent in silence, when the three proclamations are finished without objection, it is also accomplished. Both views may be accepted at will. The rest is detailed in the Yichao.
