四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 1.397

1.397

衣鉢不具者。《四分》云：若無衣鉢，不名受戒；若借衣鉢，應與價直。《五分》云：令主捨之。亦不明得不？今準《薩婆多》，得戒論。問曰：若爾何故必須衣鉢？答：一為威儀故。二生前人信敬心故，如獵師著袈裟，鹿見以著異服，故無怖心。三為表異相故，內德亦異。引彼證此，文不可和。《四分》云：不名受戒，此則部別不同。必誦《十誦》羯磨，依彼開成。準急無損。昔人義準《四分》和尚法中，若知借衣鉢受戒不得者，則不得戒；不知者得。此乃人判，終違律文；必敬佛言，再受依法。

Regarding lack of robes and bowl: The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya says: If one has no robes and bowl, it is not called receiving the precepts; if one borrows robes and bowl, one should pay the value. The Pañcavargika-vinaya says: Have the owner relinquish them. Nor does it clarify whether one obtains them or not. Now, relying on the Sarvāstivāda, it is maintained that one obtains the precepts. Question: If so, why must one have robes and a bowl? Answer: First, for deportment. Second, to generate faith and reverence in the other person; just as when a hunter wears a kāṣāya, deer see that he wears an extraordinary garment and have no fear in their hearts. Third, to manifest a distinctive appearance, as the inner virtue is also distinctive. Citing that to prove this, the texts cannot be reconciled. The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya says, 'it is not called receiving the precepts'; these are differences between schools. If one recites the Daśādhyāya-vinaya karman and relies on its allowance, it is established. In times of urgency, this causes no harm. In the past, people inferred the meaning based on the section on upādhyāyas in the Dharmaguptaka: if one knows that borrowing robes and bowl renders receiving the precepts invalid, one does not obtain the precepts; if one does not know, one obtains them. This is merely human judgment, and ultimately contradicts the Vinaya text; if one reveres the Buddha's words, one should receive them again according to the Dharma.
