四分律行事鈔資持記 2.178

2.178

二中，初問。幾種者，通論諸教，所說不定；約境，從制，就位（五八十具），剋體（作及無作），或對七支，或總三業，或分遮性，或據受隨；有斯多異，通而問之。答中，初約境示量。今下，舉要統收。今正明體，此二為要，故偏舉之。通收盡者，由此二戒懸防，總發體中含攝故。此收法體，而言境者，欲明偏境之法，皆歸二戒故。

Under the second [part], first is the question. As for "how many kinds," discussing the various teachings generally, what is stated is indeterminate: according to the object, following prohibition, in terms of rank (the five, eight, ten, and full precepts), isolating the essence (action and non-action), or pairing with the seven paths of action, or synthesizing the three karmas, or dividing prohibitive and natural [offenses], or based on reception and subsequent [practice]. Since there are many such differences, the question is posed generally. In the answer, first, the measure is shown according to the object. From "Now..." downward, the essentials are cited to encompass all. Now, precisely clarifying the essence, these two are the essentials; therefore, they are singled out. "Comprehensively encompassing all" is because these two precepts proactively guard against [transgression] and are subsumed within the comprehensively generated essence. This encompasses the dharma-essence, yet speaking of "object" is because one wishes to clarify that the dharmas of distinct objects all return to the two precepts.
