四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1083

2.1083

別請中，初科；初至不清淨來，明初請法。二若九十日下，明續供法。初中復二，初明先請。長請謂不限日也。至下，明來集，初明無遮盡集。先無別請者，謂長請之外，一切普設，無別召者；則二日已去，縱遮無過。不能下，次明有遮免過。不能無遮者，食不足供也。勸化比丘，即是門師。言六十臘者，趣舉多者為言；乃至者，五十九下，次第減唱。言都無者，虛唱成法，為免後患。若不下，明違教結犯。有無皆罪，文相可知。二法即打槌唱臘。（或可初日及日日為二。）次續供中。即前法者，以相續不絕故。僧房等須唱者，準似夏初四事皆唱；食味是通，唱法亦續，故不更唱；房舍別屬，期限已滿，故須別唱。

In "Specific Invitation", the first section: from the beginning to "is not pure" clarifies the procedure for an initial invitation. Second, from "If ninety days..." onward clarifies the procedure for continuing offerings. In the first part there are again two: first, clarifying the prior invitation. An extended invitation means without a limitation of days. From "To..." onward clarifies their coming to assemble, first clarifying the complete assembly without withholding. "Previously having no specific invitation" means that, outside the extended invitation, everything is universally provided without specifically summoning anyone; thus, from the second day onward, even if one withholds, there is no fault. From "Unable..." onward, second, clarifies having withholding yet avoiding fault. "Unable to be without withholding" means that the food is insufficient to provide for them. An exhorting monk is a gate-keeping master. Saying "sixty rains-retreats" is an arbitrary mention of a large number; as for "and so forth", one calls out the announcement reducing successively down from fifty-nine. Saying "none at all" means that an empty call completes the legal procedure to avoid later trouble. From "If not..." onward clarifies incurring an offense by violating the teaching. Both having it and not having it incur offenses, the textual marks of which can be known. The two procedures are striking the mallet and calling the rains-retreat seniority. (Alternatively, the first day and everyday constitute two.) In the subsequent "Continuing Offerings": "the aforementioned procedure" is because it continues without interruption. The necessity of calling out the announcement for monastic rooms and the like is modeled on calling all four requisites at the beginning of the rains-retreat; food flavors are common, and the procedure of calling also continues, so it is not called again; rooms and lodgings belong specifically, and the time limit has expired, so they must be called out specifically.
