四分律行事鈔資持記 1.100

1.100

引《十誦律》五十九卷。初列示三事。一即緣起，二即戒本，三即重結（如初戒乃至共畜等）。應下，勸籌量，又為三。初總列一部律文，大為三節。二部戒律，即初僧尼戒本。義解即隨戒下廣解之文，故云及也。毘尼總中間諸犍度，增一即律後法數。上明觀教。二開下，明判斷。開遮輕重，貫通一部；且舉衣色略示相狀。青黃赤白黑，五方正色；俗流所尚，能發貪染，故是不淨；佛所制斷，故云遮也。非色即青泥棧三種染壞；三聖同遵，相超世表，所以云淨；是佛所教，故云不遮。三如是下，結告。通指一部始終，故云本末。

[The text] cites fascicle fifty-nine of the Daśādhyāya-vinaya. First, it enumerates and demonstrates three matters: the first is the origin; the second is the prātimokṣa; the third is the re-enactment (such as for the first precept down to [copulation with] animals, and so forth). From "should" onwards, it encourages deliberation, which again has three parts. First, it comprehensively enumerates the text of the entire Vinaya, broadly making three sections. The "vinaya of the two divisions" refers to the primary prātimokṣas for monks and nuns. "Doctrinal explanations" refers to the extensive explanatory passages following the respective precepts, hence the word "and". "Vinaya" comprehensively encompasses the various skandhakas in the middle, and "increasing by one" refers to the numerical categories at the end of the Vinaya. The above clarifies observing the teaching. Second, from "exemptions" onwards, it clarifies judgment. Exemptions, prohibitions, light, and heavy run throughout the entire work; [the text] merely adduces the colors of robes to illustrate briefly their characteristics. Blue, yellow, red, white, and black are the proper colors of the five directions; prized by worldly folk, they are capable of arousing greed and defilement, and thus are impure; prohibited by the Buddha, they are therefore termed "prohibited". "Improper colors" refers to the three kinds of disfiguring dyes—blue-black, mud, and bark; observed by the three types of sages, their appearance transcends worldly conventions, so they are called "pure"; instructed by the Buddha, they are therefore termed "unprohibited". Third, from "in this manner" onwards, it concludes and declares. It refers comprehensively to the beginning and end of the entire work, hence it says "root and branch".
