四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1575

2.1575

婬中，初句通摽。畜下，別簡，有四，初句簡異類。理加非人，次於畜趣。二人中簡道俗。三道俗中各簡持破。在家更簡無戒有戒，持中復有士女五八。出家先簡五眾，大僧最重，五中各有持破。四持中簡凡聖。薄地持戒外凡已去，乃至無學，陵辱極重。末句總示。重同謂制罪，婬不簡境，皆犯夷故。報異謂業道，業有優劣，受報不同。後三制報俱異，可知。

Regarding lust, the first line states it generally. 'Beast...' below differentiates specifically into four: the first line differentiates different kinds, where in principle non-humans should be added next to the animal destiny. Second, among humans, it differentiates monastics from laity. Third, among monastics and laity, each differentiates maintaining from breaking [precepts]. Among the laity, it further differentiates having no precepts from having precepts; among those maintaining, there are further laymen and laywomen with the five and eight [precepts]. Among the ordained, it first differentiates the five assemblies, where fully ordained monks are the gravest, and within the five each has maintaining and breaking. Fourth, among those maintaining, it differentiates ordinary beings from nobles: from ordinary beings on the thin ground maintaining precepts, external ordinary beings onward, up to non-trainees, violating them is extremely grave. The final line summarizes. 'Gravity being identical' refers to prescriptive offenses: because lust does not differentiate objects, all incur pārājika. 'Retribution being different' refers to karmic paths: karma has superiority and inferiority, so the retributions received are not the same. For the latter three, prescription and retribution are both different, which is understandable.
