四分律行事鈔資持記 1.518

1.518

外唱中，初敘過源。如下，出濫相，分三，初示彼唱法。正南下，二推過濫。此約寺門當垣牆之間，故有內外兩唱之過，如下圖中所示。必若寺門齊牆內外，亦無此患。隨處明之，未必皆爾。故知下，三教如法隨曲唱結。後行法時，無別眾患，則無悔也。亦下，遮濫。然行事之時，若籬牆曲折深遠，須立標相，從於某處至於某處。必若分齊分明，少有迂迴，恐成繁累，略云隨屈曲者，亦無有過。但令唱者及同法僧識知其處。近世有人計其尺寸，牒入相中，太成細碎，不必須爾。

In proclaiming from the outside, it first narrates the source of faults. From "As…" downward presents the marks of laxity, divided into three: first, showing their method of proclamation. From "Due south…" downward, second, deducing the faults and laxity. This is spoken with respect to the temple gate being situated between the walls, hence having the fault of two proclamations, inside and outside, as shown in the diagram below. If the temple gate is aligned with the inside and outside of the wall, there is also no such defect. This is explained according to location and is not necessarily always like this. From "Therefore know…" downward, third, teaches proclaiming and establishing according to the Dharma following the bends. When later carrying out legal acts, there will be no defect of a separate assembly, and thus no regret. From "Also…" downward prevents laxity. However, at the time of carrying out transactions, if the fences and walls bend extensively and deeply, one must set up markers and characteristics, from such a place to such a place. If the demarcation is clear and there are few detours, fearing that it would become cumbersome, briefly saying "following the bends" is also without fault. One merely needs to ensure that the proclaimer and the monks of common affiliation recognize the place. In recent times, someone calculated its dimensions in feet and inches and inserted them into the characteristics, which became far too petty and detailed; it is not necessary to be like this.
