四分律行事鈔資持記 2.2082

2.2082

第四方中，初標論。業即羯磨。言相應者，事必稱法，不可差故；前後皆言學處者，作持行法，聖制學故。以下，牒釋，初約事簡法。法位三者，單白、白二、白四。就下，明用法多少。雖通四法，不必盡用；且總列之，故云位極有四。然此四位有定不定，別住本日，隨有行之，此二不定；六夜出罪，此二則定。前四對治及後正懺，並明諸位，故此指之。

In the fourth method, first the treatise is quoted. "Action" (karma) means karmavācanā. In stating "compatible", the matter must accord with the Dharma, for it cannot deviate; as for stating "training rules" before and after, it is because the practice of active maintenance is a training decreed by the sage. Below, the text is taken up and explained; first, the Dharma [procedure] is determined in accordance with the matter. The three stages of Dharma [procedure] are: simple motion (jñapti), jñaptidvitīyā karmavācanā, and jñapticaturthā karmavācanā. From "as to" below, the quantity of Dharma [procedures] used is explained. Although extending across four Dharma [procedures], not all need be used; they are merely listed collectively, which is why it says "the stages reach at most four." However, these four stages include both the definite and the indefinite: parivāsa and mūlaparivāsa are practiced according to whether they are applicable, so these two are indefinite; the six nights [of mānatva] and the clearance of offenses (abbhāna), these two are definite. The preceding four antidotes and the subsequent principal repentance all elucidate these stages, which is why it points to them here.
