四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1072

2.1072

約相中，初科，本律有二，初約廣解明別請。即開緣文。佛初未開，比丘凡有他請，皆用此言對之，如鈔所引。至後白佛，故有七開。若依下，次約緣起明別乞。難調人即召提婆，明佛制戒，為攝彼故。（本宗止有此二。）《多論》具三，皆論不集，初句總標。亦下，別列。上云亦明者，亦前律文；下云亦有者，亦上二種。

In analyzing the marks, regarding the first section, the root Vinaya has two points. First, based on the broad explanation, it clarifies separate invitations. This is the text of the circumstances of exception. When the Buddha had not yet granted the exception, whenever bhikṣus received another invitation, they all used these words in reply, as cited in the Transactions Manual. When they later reported to the Buddha, there were therefore seven exceptions. From 'if according to' downward, next, based on the origin story, it clarifies begging separately. The 'person difficult to discipline' refers to Devadatta, clarifying that the Buddha laid down the precept in order to restrain him. (Our root school only has these two.) The Sarvāstivāda Vinaya Vibhāṣā provides three, all of which discuss non-assembly; the first clause summarizes generally. From 'also' downward, it lists them separately. Above, saying 'also clarifies' means also clarifying the previous Vinaya text; below, saying 'also has' means also having the above two kinds.
