四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1269

2.1269

《四分》中，初明緣開。恐謂生地，故注簡之。若下，二明無緣結犯。且列四物，律中更有枝葉紵麻芻摩牛屎，亦攝於四。（上三即草木，下一即糞掃。）若半焦句絕，與下然炭，各是一事。律云：若被燒半焦擲著火中，及然炭者，突吉羅。

In the *Dharmaguptaka-vinaya*, it first explains the excusing conditions. Fearing that it might be taken to mean living ground, the note distinguishes it. From 'If' onward, the second part explains establishing the offense when there is no excusing circumstance. Four items are listed for now; in the Vinaya there are additionally branches, leaves, ramie, hemp, and cow dung, which are also subsumed within the four. (The first three are grass and wood, and the last one is sweepings.) The phrase 'if half-burned' forms an independent clause, and together with 'lighting charcoal' below, each is a separate matter. The Vinaya says: 'If it has been burned until half-charred and one throws it into the fire, or if one lights charcoal, it is a duṣkṛta.'
