四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 3.124

3.124

四相和者。《薩婆多》：四藥相和，從彊而服。若以時藥、終身藥，助成七日藥，作七日服；由七日藥勢力多故，又助成故；如以穌煮肉，此穌肉汁，得作七日服。若以時藥、七日藥，助成終身藥，作終身服；如以穌、乳，和葶藶子作丸者是；又如附子、烏頭等諸毒藥，浸豆、麥等，名盡形藥。若以終身、七日，助成時藥者，時中服之；如麪食，用穌、油，薑、椒等。若分數俱等，勢力相似者，隨以藥首一名標目，餘者藥分稱之；如石英、鍾乳，黃耆、白木，丸、散、湯、膏、煎等，並例知用之。

Fourth, compounding them together: The Sarvāstivāda-vinaya-vibhāṣā states: When the four medicines are compounded together, one takes them according to the dominant one. If a proper-time medicine or a lifetime medicine assists in completing a seven-day medicine, it is taken as a seven-day [medicine]; because the potency of the seven-day medicine is greater, and also because it is assisted to completion; just as when cooking meat with butter, this butter-and-meat juice may be taken as a seven-day [medicine]. If a proper-time medicine or a seven-day medicine assists in completing a lifetime medicine, it is taken as a lifetime [medicine]; as when pills are made of butter and milk mixed with tingli seeds; or as when aconite, monkshood, and other poisonous medicines are used to soak beans or wheat, they are called lifetime medicines. If a lifetime or seven-day [medicine] assists in completing a proper-time medicine, it is taken within the proper time; as in flour foods using butter, oil, ginger, pepper, and the like. If their portions are equal and their potencies similar, it is designated according to the first single name of the medicine, and the rest are termed its medicinal parts; as with quartz, stalactite, astragalus, and atractylodes, in pills, powders, decoctions, ointments, syrups, and the like, all are to be understood and used by analogy.
