四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1375

2.1375

《僧祇》中，初通明制意。知事當開，教亦不許，而況餘人，故云乃至。若下，別示供具又三，初通列供會。供養具下，明鋪設供興。裹手捉者，恐損壞故，暫開佐助；世有持戒者，裹手捉錢，愚教之甚。若浴下，正明浴像。不得後放者，必須先放，意表助他故。

In the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya, it first broadly explains the intention of the prohibition. Even when the administrator of affairs should have an exception, the teaching does not permit it either, so how much less for other people; thus it says 'even'. Below, 'if...', it specifically indicates the offering paraphernalia in three parts: first, it broadly lists offering gatherings. Below, 'offering paraphernalia...', it explains the setting out and arrangement of offerings. As for holding them with covered hands, it is out of fear that they might be damaged, so it temporarily allows assisting; there are people in the world who maintain precepts and hold coins with covered hands, which is the height of foolishness regarding the teaching. Below, 'if bathing...', it directly clarifies bathing images. 'Must not release afterward' means that one must release first, intended to signify helping others.
