四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1162

2.1162

制意中，初引《五分》。白衣訶詞，義分三過。他不喜者，招譏謗也。著割截衣者，不生物善也。不與取者，同盜竊也。後制此戒，即反三過以為三益。《多論》，五義。初為防重盜。二假彼能授，證非竊盜。三四易會。五中引緣，顯示生信。初外道令比丘上樹，比丘言我法樹過人頭不應上；又令搖樹取果，比丘言我法不得搖落果（不壞生故）；外道上樹取果擲地與之，比丘言我法不得不受而食；故云並答等。

Under "Intention of the Prohibition", first, the Mahīśāsaka-vinaya is cited. In the words of rebuke spoken by the white-robed laity, the meaning divides into three faults: "others are displeased" incurs criticism and slander; "those wearing cut-and-pieced robes" fail to generate wholesome roots in beings; "taking what is not given" is equivalent to stealing. Later, when this precept was instituted, these three faults were precisely reversed into three benefits. In the Sarvāstivāda Vinaya Vibhāṣā, there are five meanings: first, to prevent grave theft; second, to rely on the grantor's ability to bestow as proof that it is not stealing; the third and fourth are easy to understand. Within the fifth, the causal background is cited to show the generation of faith: at first, an outsider told a bhikṣu to climb a tree, and the bhikṣu said, "In our Dharma, trees taller than a person's head should not be climbed"; he then told him to shake the tree to get the fruit, and the bhikṣu said, "In our Dharma, one must not shake down fruit (because it damages living things)"; the outsider then climbed the tree, plucked the fruit, threw it to the ground, and offered it to him, and the bhikṣu said, "In our Dharma, we may not eat food without receiving it"; therefore it says "answered both," and so forth.
