四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1283

2.1283

《僧祇》中二，初明麁細。二種梵言，即絲毛細者；下云餘衣，即是麁者。然上細衣，若是三衣，必先通染；若餘服飾，止須點割。青者下，次辨三色，用以為點。青有四種，第一銅青，是如法色；下三皆非法色。石青者，有石生青，可磨以取之。硿青亦生石中，可以為藥。黑色云作泥者，謂以泥置上器中，染黑而用。木欄指衣法者，下云《僧祇》翻在吳地，不見木欄，謂是果色等。

In the *Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya*, there are two: first, explaining coarse and fine. The two kinds of Sanskrit terms refer to fine silk and wool; below it mentions 'other garments,' which are the coarse ones. However, regarding the fine garments above, if they are the three robes, they must first be dyed throughout; if they are other clothing items, they only need to be spotted or cut. From 'Blue' onward, it next distinguishes the three colors used for spotting. There are four kinds of blue: the first is copper-green (verdigris), which is a proper color; the three below are all illicit colors. Mineral blue is blue produced from stone, which can be ground to obtain it. *Kongqing* (azurite) is also produced in stone and can be used as medicine. Black is called 'making mud,' which means placing mud in a vessel above and dyeing it black for use. Bark indicates the robe method; below it says that the *Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya* was translated in the Wu region, where bark was not seen, so it was considered fruit colors and so forth.
