四分律行事鈔資持記 1.815

1.815

三中。佛奴者，或費佛物傭雇，或是他施侍佛。盜佛兩結，此據主論，故云犯重。大道人即目比丘。雖已受具，必還奴位，故云非也。此據永作，或在傭限；不爾，則非所論。

In the third: A 'Buddha-slave' refers either to someone hired by expending Buddha-property, or someone given by another to attend upon the Buddha. Stealing from the Buddha incurs both offenses; this is discussed in terms of the master, hence it says 'commits a weighty offense'. 'Great person of the Way' directly refers to a bhikṣu. Even if he has already received full ordination, he must return to the status of a slave; hence it says 'invalid'. This is said regarding one who serves permanently or is within the term of hire; if not, then it is not what is discussed.
