四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1274

2.1274

《多論》，上明非法物犯輕。不淨者，彼作駝牛雜毛衣，今以不淨二字替之。未下，明如法結重。注中，以色衣白鉢，據理應同；而論分輕重，則知色衣定為非法；故特示之，以懲謬濫。

In the *Sarvāstivāda Vinaya Vibhāṣā*, the above explains that for illicit articles the offense is light. 'Improper' was originally camel and ox mixed-hair robes, which is now replaced with the two characters 'improper.' From 'Not yet' onward, it explains establishing a heavy offense for proper articles. In the note, regarding dyed robes and white almsbowls, in principle they should be the same; yet the treatise divides them into light and heavy, from which we know that dyed robes are definitely illicit; therefore it is specifically pointed out to check errors and abuses.
