四分律行事鈔資持記 1.1264

1.1264

第七問中。謂時僧得，時現前；此二種施，竝賞夏勞故；非時二施，非所論矣。若二衣中，時現前施，局前安居人者；中後非分，如後明之。答中，初引文明許。雖是中後，夏功齊故。破夏不結，定不預分。若下，引房為例。律中，分房已；猶故多者，開客住處；乃知中後安居，得受房舍；夏竟分物，可以例證。

Under the seventh question: this refers to offerings obtained by the Saṅgha at the proper time and offerings present at the proper time; both of these two offerings reward the labors of the rains retreat; the two offerings at improper times are not under discussion. If between the two robes, the offering present at the proper time is restricted to those of the former rains retreat, then those of the middle and later retreats have no share, as will be clarified below. In the answer, first the text is cited to show explicit permission. Although they belong to the middle or later retreat, their merit from the rains is equal. If one breaks the rains retreat and does not complete it, one definitely does not share in the distribution. The text from "if..." onward cites rooms as an analogy. In the Vinaya, after rooms were distributed and there were still extra, guest dwelling places were permitted; thus we know that those in the middle and later rains retreats may receive rooms, which can serve as analogous evidence for distributing goods after the rains retreat.
