四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1539

2.1539

正明中，初列四頓。若下，次指四漸。但望一境為言。問：遍通諸境，可名為頓；或緣三五，起持犯心，為漸為頓？答：但一名漸，自二已去，皆名為頓。

In the direct explanation, first the four sudden ones are listed. From 'if' below, it next points to the four gradual ones, speaking merely with respect to a single object. Question: Being universally pervasive to all objects can be called sudden; if one focuses on three or five [objects] and gives rise to a mind of maintenance or violation, is it gradual or sudden? Answer: Focusing on only one is called gradual; from two onward, all are called sudden.
