四分律行事鈔資持記 2.354

2.354

答文，初約存沒，生法不同。又下，次約現在，施語有異。然文中，但約化理相對；不言像者，以化例像，可以準同。

In the reply: first, regarding existence and demise, birth and Dharma differ. From "Moreover..." downward, next, regarding the present, the donor's words differ. However, in the text, it only contrasts the Manifested Phase and the Principle Substance; it does not mention the Image, because taking the Manifested Phase as an analogy for the Image, one may understand them to be identical.
