四分律行事鈔資持記 1.402

1.402

十中，上出答相。某即別事，羯磨是法。謂下，遮濫。然復須知總別兩答；言總答者，如受戒三單白、一白四，差教授時，總云受戒羯磨；餘之三法，竝不須問；捨墮自恣，類此可知。言別答者，四法別提，如云差教授師、單白羯磨等。

In the tenth: the upper part sets forth the form of the answer. 'Such-and-such' is the specific matter; 'karman' is the legal procedure. The passage beginning 'This means...' prevents confusion. However, one must also know the two answers, general and specific. 'General answer' means: as in receiving the precepts with three single motions and one jñapticaturthā karmavācanā, when assigning the instructor, one generally says 'the precept-reception karman'; for the remaining three legal procedures, one need not ask at all. Relinquishment of pāyattika and pravāraṇā can be understood by analogy to this. 'Specific answer' means raising the four legal procedures separately, such as saying 'assigning the instructor', 'a single-motion karman', and so forth.
