四分律行事鈔資持記 1.734

1.734

答法中，初示須答之意。四下，出答詞。《疏》云：初可爾者，總領請詞，許為師也。又云，可是答諾下流，爾是應酬上位。準此但答云可。教授汝者，非但事攝，有法弘訓也。清淨者，宜重戒本，攝持三業也。莫放逸者，諸過之源，由行放逸；當攝情根，遠五欲也。準《疏》四句，共成一答。初是許詞，後三相攝。不同古解，隨一成答。今時行事，多不依用；妄搆浮言，殊無軌度。下文者，即〈增五〉中，彼云：有五法與人依止，若言能、若言可、若言是、若言善自修行、若言不放逸。復有五法與人依止，若言善哉、若言好、若言起、若言去、若言與依止。二五共十種也。（舊記指〈師資篇〉，非也。）

In [the section on] the method of replying: first, [the text] shows the intention that one must reply. From "four" downwards, it sets out the words of reply. The Commentary says: "The initial 'It is acceptable' summarizes and accepts the words of request, agreeing to become his master." It also says: "'Acceptable' is a reply of assent to an inferior, while 'so' is a response to a superior. According to this, one merely replies, saying 'Acceptable.' 'I will instruct you' means that this is not merely an administrative embrace, but entails the Dharma's vast instruction. 'Purely' means that one should honor the prātimokṣa and restrain the three karmic actions. 'Do not be heedless' means: heedless conduct is the source of all faults; one must restrain the sense faculties and stay far from the five desires." Following the Commentary, the four phrases together constitute a single reply. The first is words of consent, and the subsequent three mutually embrace [the disciple]. This differs from the ancient interpretation that any single phrase constituted a reply. In present times, transactions mostly do not rely on or apply this; people fabricate frivolous words at random, completely without standard or rule. "The following text" refers to the "Fives chapter," where it says: "There are five dharmas by which one gives dependence to a person: if one says 'Capable,' if one says 'Acceptable,' if one says 'It is so,' if one says 'Cultivate well on your own,' or if one says 'Do not be heedless.' There are another five dharmas by which one gives dependence to a person: if one says 'Excellent,' if one says 'Good,' if one says 'Rise,' if one says 'Go,' or if one says 'I give dependence.'" The two groups of five total ten kinds. (The old record refers this to the "Masters and Disciples chapter," which is incorrect.)
