四分律行事鈔資持記 1.213

1.213

敘意中，初句標僧義。僧者通目七位。一二三人，雖不秉眾法，亦得名僧；以僧假別成，從因彰號；不同古記謂簡別人。和者有六：戒見利三，名體和；身口意三，名相和。又初果已去名理和，所證同故；內凡已還名事和，即六和也。若下，反明須集之意。上二句明人非。乖離者，總三種別。御下法非。被下事非。法事縱如，由人非故，二並不成。故下，文含三意：一釋首題，二結篇意，三即分章。

In stating the purpose, the first phrase sets forth the meaning of the saṅgha. "Saṅgha" is a general designation for the seven categories. One, two, or three persons, although they do not execute communal transactions, may also be called a saṅgha; because the saṅgha is nominally established through individuals, its name is manifested from its cause; it is not, as ancient commentaries claimed, to distinguish individuals. As for harmony, there are six: precepts, views, and material gain are called the harmony of essence; bodily, verbal, and mental are called the harmony of marks. Moreover, from the first fruit upward is called the harmony of principle, because that which is realized is identical; from the inner ordinary beings downward is called the harmony of phenomena, which are the six harmonies. From "If..." onward, it conversely explains the reason why assembling is necessary. The preceding two phrases explain human impropriety. "Estranged and divided" summarizes three kinds of separation. From "manage..." downward is dharmic impropriety. From "receive..." downward is transactional impropriety. Even if the dharmas and transactions are nominally correct, because of human impropriety, neither is accomplished. Therefore, the text below contains three intentions: first, to explain the opening title; second, to conclude the purpose of the chapter; third, to delineate the sections.
