四分律行事鈔資持記 1.814

1.814

次科，初指時事。若下，準經明許。律下，示律所闕。下二句準經決律。經兼男女，因決前科，故云及兒。由前《祇律》，三兒五奴，並不論放，故局彼此。今準經文，但是被放，不問親疎；彼方此國，一切皆得，故云通允。允猶許也。《疏》云：本若被放，何論彼此是也。

In the next section: First, it points to contemporary situations. From 'if' downwards, based on the sūtra it clarifies permission. From 'Vinaya' downwards, it indicates what the Vinaya lacked. The lower two phrases, based on the sūtra, resolve the Vinaya. The sūtra includes both men and women, and to resolve the previous section it therefore says 'and children'. Because in the previous Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya, regarding the three kinds of children and five kinds of slaves, emancipation was not discussed at all, it was limited to this or that [country]. Now, based on the sūtra text, as long as one has been emancipated, regardless of whether close or distant, in that region or this country, all are permitted; hence it says 'universally allowed'. 'Allowed' (yun) means permitted (xu). The Commentary says: 'If originally emancipated, what need is there to discuss this or that [country]?' This is it.
