四分律行事鈔資持記 2.234

2.234

引證中。論文明戒而舉慈施者，以施六度之首；大士之行，用以挍量，足知高勝。文為二節，初明施戒功等。又下，明施不及戒，又二，初明施慈局狹。言備物者，謂財食等物，可濟現境，不及過未故。戒下，次顯戒通周。下引論證，示偏局過；即同《俱舍》能非能境，互轉生義，下文自見。

In citing proofs: the treatise text, while explaining precepts, raises giving through loving-kindness because giving is the foremost of the six perfections; being the practice of a great being, using it for comparison is sufficient to show the supreme superiority [of precepts]. The text has two sections: first, it explains that giving and precepts have equal merit. Below "Moreover," it explains that giving does not equal precepts, also in two: first, it explains that giving and loving-kindness are narrow and limited. Speaking of "providing material goods" means wealth, food, and other goods can aid the present realm, but cannot reach the past and future. Below "Precepts," it next reveals that precepts are universally pervasive. Below, it cites treatise proofs to indicate the fault of partial restriction; this is identical to the meaning in the *Abhidharmakośa* of the capable and incapable realms mutually transforming and arising, which will be seen in the text below.
