四分律行事鈔資持記 1.97

1.97

不能中，初科，上二句示難。前四決中，文有取捨，義是意裁；寡學淺知，故非所及；對彼古解，故云廢立。下云決判是非，意亦同此。自下二句，揀非顯是。律相言通，開遮語別；開遮二法，在律尤難，故別舉之。不下二句顯過。不然者，反上非深明等。累謂疑滯，或可約罪，二釋俱通。他境，即前事；以不明教旨，皆是妄施；行不成持，故云無益。此約自行。或可他境即指餘人；弘演化他，並非正教，故無益也。

Under 'inability', in the first section, the first two lines indicate the difficulty. Among the previous four resolutions, the texts involve selection and rejection, and the meanings are judged by intellect; being of meager learning and shallow knowledge, it is not within one's reach; confronting those ancient explanations, it therefore says 'discarding and establishing'. The statement below, 'deciding right from wrong', has the same meaning. From the next two lines down, he distinguishes the incorrect and reveals the correct. The marks of the Vinaya are spoken of generally, while allowances and prohibitions are spoken of specifically; the two dharmas of allowance and prohibition are particularly difficult in the Vinaya, hence they are specially highlighted. The two lines below 'if not' reveal the fault. 'If it were not so' is the opposite of the above 'deeply understanding', etc. 'Burden' refers to doubts and stagnations, or it can be explained in terms of offenses; both explanations are admissible. 'Other spheres' refers to the preceding matters; because one does not understand the purport of the teaching, all are applied erroneously; since practice does not become maintenance, it says 'without benefit'. This is explained in terms of self-cultivation. Or 'other spheres' may refer to other people; expounding to transform others is not the correct teaching at all, hence it is 'without benefit'.
