四分律行事鈔資持記 2.409

2.409

疏解，初六塵中，前標所盜。胸行者，謂蛇以胸當前而行；毒藥者，一切害人命者；謂諸仙人，能治上二毒，故號為師。作下，列示盜相；初至亦爾，眼盜色也。書字者，如今之符籙。若誦下，耳盜聲也。偷下，略指三塵。類上說之。若祕下，意盜法也。

The Commentary's explanation: first, among the six sense objects, it first indicates what is stolen. 'Crawling on the chest' means snakes moving forward with their chests; 'poisons' refers to anything that harms human life; it means the various ṛṣis are able to treat the above two poisons, and hence are called masters. 'Making,' and so forth, lists and demonstrates the marks of theft: from the beginning to 'likewise' is stealing visible forms with the eye. 'Writing characters' is like talismanic registers today. 'If chanting,' and so forth, is stealing sounds with the ear. 'Stealing,' and so forth, briefly points to the three sense objects, explained by analogy with the above. 'If secretly,' and so forth, is stealing dharmas with the mental consciousness.
