2.1246

三中。《僧祇》果漿，同上甜酒。麴知飯提，亦約能醉。蘖即米牙，謂糟粕也。此方多有糟藏之物，氣味全在，猶能醉人；世多貪噉，最難節約；想西竺本無，故教所不制；準前糟麴，足為明例；有道高士，幸宜從急。

In the third: The fruit syrup in the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya is the same as the sweet liquor above. Ferment-treated rice being a pāyattika is also determined by its ability to intoxicate. "Sprout" (蘖) means rice sprouts, referring to distillers' grains. In this region there are many items preserved in distillers' grains, where the aroma and flavor remain entirely intact and can still intoxicate people; people in the world mostly crave and consume them, making them most difficult to moderate. I presume the Western Regions originally lacked them, so the teaching did not prohibit them; based on the preceding grains and ferment, they suffice as clear examples. High-minded practitioners of the Way should preferably follow the strict rule.
