四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 2.466

2.466

初中，依《明了論》偈曰：及上起罪五種方。釋曰，如人犯僧殘，求得出離，若人欲為彼作提舍那羯磨，此人必定應先憶持五種上起方，後作羯磨。一觀僧殘罪相。二為簡擇人，知藏罪不藏罪相。三觀業聚學處，為簡擇四部等眾。四觀業相應學處，為行白四等羯磨。五觀於十三殘罪中，一日一夜等，藏、不藏，為顯有藏、無藏等地，立宿住、摩㮏多等。斯之五方，僧須觀察，始可為人上起罪也。方猶法也。釋此五法，即為五門。所以名上起者，往前墮在犯罪處，故名為下；罪相續故，遮隨戒無作不生。今若懺悔，約遮相續，還得受持清淨；對治護故，戒法續生，稱之為起；第二白法，翻前犯罪時下，故名為上；是以懺悔總名上起法也。又知提舍那者，此云發露，謂此懺悔是發露法。故欲行上起，須知五方。

In the first part, relying on the verse in the Vinayavibhāṣā, which says: 'And the five methods for elevating from offenses.' The commentary says: If a person commits a saṃghāvaśeṣa and seeks deliverance, if one wishes to perform the deśanā karman for him, this person must certainly first retain and keep in mind the five methods of elevating upwards, and only then perform the karman. First, observing the marks of the saṃghāvaśeṣa offense. Second, screening the person to know the marks of concealing the offense or not concealing the offense. Third, observing the training precepts belonging to categories of karma in order to screen the assemblies such as the four divisions. Fourth, observing the training precepts corresponding to the karma in order to execute karmans such as the one with a motion and three announcements. Fifth, observing within the thirteen residual offenses, whether for one day and one night, etc., there was concealment or no concealment, in order to reveal stages such as with-concealment or without-concealment and establish parivāsa, mānatva, and so forth. As for these five methods, the saṃgha must examine them; only then may one elevate a person from the offense. 'Method' is equivalent to rule. Explaining these five rules constitutes five sections. The reason it is called 'elevating upwards' is that previously one fell into the place of committing the offense, hence it is called 'below'; because the offense continued in succession, it obstructed the non-informative precept of following compliance from arising. Now, if one repents, taking into account the cessation of the succession, one again attains pure upholding; because of the protection of the counteragent, the precept-dharma arises in succession, which is called 'elevation'; the second, white dharma turns over the former low state at the time of committing the offense, hence it is called 'upward'; therefore repentance is collectively called the method of elevating upwards. Furthermore, knowing deśanā: here it is translated as disclosure, meaning that this repentance is a method of disclosure. Therefore, if one wishes to practice elevating upwards, one must know the five methods.
