四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 2.420

2.420

二方便趣果者。然造修前境，必有三時。是以大聖隨時而制，意令智士剋志不為。略如上引。何者前方便？總論諸聚，《明了論》中，初篇、二篇，有三方便。第三、四篇，立二方便。第五篇中，但心起身口，唯有根本，無方便；若動身口思，亦有遠近方便。律中但明成者波羅夷，不成者偷蘭，亦不分輕重。廣如卷初明之。

Second, preliminary expedients that tend toward the result. Carrying out and acting upon an intended object must have three periods of time. Therefore, the Great Sage formulated [the precepts] according to the time, intending that the wise resolve their wills and not commit them. This has been briefly cited above. What is the prior preliminary expedient? Discussing the various categories in general, in the Vinayavibhāṣā, the first and second classes of offenses have three preliminary expedients. The third and fourth classes establish two preliminary expedients. In the fifth class, merely an intention arising in body and speech has only the primary [offense], without preliminary expedients; yet if there is an intention that moves body and speech, there are also remote and proximate preliminary expedients. In the Vinaya, it only clarifies that what is accomplished is a pārājika, and what is unaccomplished is a sthūlātyaya, without distinguishing light and heavy. This has been extensively clarified at the beginning of the scroll.
