四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 3.39

3.39

二補治浣染者。《十誦》云：以小段物補衣，若却刺者，不須說淨點淨；若直縫者，段段須說，不者段段得二罪。《毘尼母》云：若長衣未滿十日，未作淨施，納已作淨，縫著納衣上，得畜。若納未淨，縫已淨衣著納，此名衣和合淨，通二種淨法（文中縫之準前時刺）。《善見》：若衣欲破未穿，或一條二條，先以物補，後割却故者，不失受。袈裟背處欲破，當轉著兩邊，先合刺連相著，後以刀破開，然後却刺緣，不失受（《多論》緣斷便失，隨情兩論）。袈裟若大減却，若小以物裨，皆不失受。若浣，增色、脫色、上色，皆不失受。《五分》：衣若弊壞，聽補治，以複線却刺，亦得直縫（《十誦》不開縫者，理須時刺一針）。《四分》中：三衣壞，聽著納，重線編邊，隨孔大小方圓補，不得孔大以小物補令縮小，應及孔小廣二指大補治。應須桄張治之。律令早補，宜同《善見》。《多論》不問大小，緣不斷者，不失。此言通漫，兩用無損。《四分》云：縫衣患曲，以赭色土絣治。《十誦》云：衣服恒須淨潔如法，不爾則人非人訶。

Second, mending, washing, and dyeing. The Daśādhyāya-vinaya states: When patching a robe with small pieces of cloth, if one stitches back-and-forth, one need not perform assignment of trust or mark it; if one sews straight seams, each and every piece must be assigned in trust; otherwise, for each piece one incurs two offenses. The Vinayamātṛkā states: If an extra robe has not reached ten days and has not yet been assigned in trust, while a patched robe has already been assigned in trust, sewing [the extra cloth] onto the patched robe is permissible to keep. If the patched robe has not been assigned in trust, and one sews an already assigned robe onto the patched robe, this is called 'assigned by combination of robes,' which applies to both types of assignment procedures (the sewing in the text follows the back-and-forth stitching mentioned earlier). The Samantapāsādikā states: If a robe is about to break but not yet torn through, whether on one strip or two strips, if one first patches it with cloth and later cuts away the old part, one does not lose the determination. If the back of the kaṣāya is about to break, one should turn it to the two sides, first stitching them together to join them, then slitting it open with a knife, and afterward stitching the border; one does not lose the determination (in the Sarvāstivāda-vinaya-vibhāṣā, if the border is severed, it is immediately lost; follow whichever treatise according to preference). If a kaṣāya is excessively large and reduced, or excessively small and pieced together with cloth, the determination is in neither case lost. If upon washing, the color deepens, fades, or is dyed over, the determination is not lost in any of these cases. The Pañcavargika-vinaya states: If a robe is worn out and damaged, it is permitted to mend it, stitching back-and-forth with double thread; sewing straight seams is also permitted (the Daśādhyāya-vinaya does not allow straight sewing, so in principle one must insert a back-stitch every now and then). In the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya: If the three robes are damaged, one is permitted to apply patches, weaving the edges with double thread, patching according to the size and square or round shape of the hole; one must not patch a large hole with a small piece to make it shrink; one should patch and repair it when the hole is still small, up to two finger-widths wide. One ought to stretch it on a frame to mend it. The Vinaya commands early mending, which should follow the Samantapāsādikā. The Sarvāstivāda-vinaya-vibhāṣā says that regardless of large or small, as long as the border is not severed, the determination is not lost. This statement is broad and general; adopting either causes no harm. The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya says: If one worries that the sewn garment will be crooked, one snaps a line with red-ochre earth to align it. The Daśādhyāya-vinaya states: Clothing must always be clean and in accordance with the Dharma; if not, humans and non-humans will reprove one.
