次辨通塞,受用物中,初文三節,前明佛法不互。文列二義:一無主,二無可白。不同下,次簡僧物開通,初句顯異。反上二義,故云不同。所以下,明互,有二。一者,僧別互,常住招提是。二者,通佛用,僧物治塔是;以法白和,皆非互故。若佛下,三示不開之意。文敘佛物,法物準同。

Next, distinguishing permissible and impermissible use among utilized property, the first text has three parts. First, it clarifies that the Buddha and the Dharma are not interchangeable. The text lists two reasons: first, there is no owner; second, there is no one to inform. From 'unlike' onward, it next sets apart Saṅgha property where permissions are granted; the first sentence highlights the difference. It is contrary to the two reasons above, hence saying 'unlike'. From 'the reason why' onward, it clarifies mutual use as twofold: First, mutual [transfer] between Saṅgha and separate [belongings], as in the permanent property of the four quarters (cāturdiśa). Second, universal use for the Buddha, as in using Saṅgha property to repair a stūpa; because informing and consensus are done according to the Dharma, neither constitutes [illicit] mutual use. From 'if the Buddha' onward, third, it shows the rationale for not permitting it. The text describes Buddha property, and Dharma property is modeled on the same.
