四分律行事鈔資持記 2.139

2.139

問中。以聖人之教，皆修行之法，而修多羅取貫攝為目，阿毘曇以析理彰名，故申此問，意顯今宗獨專此號。

In the question: Because the teachings of the sage are all methods (dharmas) of practice, yet the sūtras take stringing together and encompassing as their designation, and the abhidharma manifests its name through analyzing principles, this question is presented, intending to reveal why this school uniquely monopolizes this title.
