四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 3.65

3.65

就時施中分二：初，時現前者。施主將衣物至安居處，數安居人多少，各分衣物是也。不須羯磨，直爾分之，四種定故：一時定，同是七月十六日；若夏未滿，受衣得罪。二處定，同此界內前安居人。三人定，非外界者，現前同住。四法定，皆直數人相參墮籌分。《四分》：不得異處安居，異處受衣。乃至安居未竟，亦不得乞衣、受衣。又云：僧得安居衣，破為二部，令數人多少分。又云：以三衣施佛，諸比丘人與兩端㲲，為安居故。若留夏食而分者，佛言：食隨施主意，不應分。

Regarding timely offerings, there are two types: First, the timely present-offering. This occurs when a donor brings robes and goods to the retreat dwelling, counts the number of retreatants, and distributes the robes and goods individually to each. No karman is needed; it is simply distributed directly, because four factors are fixed: 1. The time is fixed, being identically the sixteenth day of the seventh month; if the retreat is not yet complete, accepting the robes incurs an offense. 2. The place is fixed, being identically the earlier retreatants within this boundary. 3. The persons are fixed, being not those from outside the boundary, but those who are present and dwelling together. 4. The procedure is fixed, which simply consists of counting heads and drawing tally-sticks among them to make the distribution. The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya states: One must not hold a retreat in a different place and accept robes in another place. Even before the retreat has ended, one must not solicit robes or accept robes. It also says: If the saṃgha obtains retreat robes and splits into two factions, make them count the number of persons and distribute them. It also says: If one gives three robes to the Buddha and two pieces of cotton cloth to each monk for the sake of the retreat, and if one sets aside the retreat food to divide it, the Buddha said: "Food follows the intention of the donor and should not be divided."
