四分律行事鈔資持記 1.816

1.816

官人者。《律》中因度波斯匿王勇將出家，王譏故制。《疏》云：謂勳品已上，在位文武百官。《僧祇》四句，可解。名謂才業為時所稱。準下，即準俱無，例決常俗；以《律》中係名籍人，亦遮攝故。

Regarding officials: In the Vinaya, it was prohibited because King Prasenajit's brave general was ordained and the king mocked [the Saṃgha]. The Commentary says: It means those of merit rank and above, civil and military officials in office. The four phrases of the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya are understandable. 'Repute' means talents and achievements praised by the times. From 'based on' downwards, that is, based on both being absent, it similarly resolves the case of ordinary folk; for in the Vinaya, those registered on the rolls are also included under the obstruction.
