四分律行事鈔資持記 2.437

2.437

第五離處，釋中，初科，《四分》明未離不成。下引《五分》，明已離方成。文列五罪，掘地一提，有無不定；餘四須具，是方便故。盜心吉者，遠方便也。掘地提者，謂生地也。（《善見》犯吉，是盜方便故。）捉物吉者，次方便也。（準今所判犯蘭。）動物近方便，可解。

The fifth, "Removal from the Location": in the explanation, the first section shows that under the Dharmaguptaka-vinaya, if it is not removed, it does not constitute an offense. Below, the Mahīśāsaka-vinaya is cited to show that only when it is already removed is it constituted. The text lists five offenses; the one pāyattika for digging the earth may or may not apply, while the other four must be present, as they are preparatory stages. The duṣkṛta of the mind of theft is the distant preparatory stage. The pāyattika for digging the earth refers to virgin soil (in the Samantapāsādikā it is a duṣkṛta, because it is a preparatory stage of theft). The duṣkṛta for grasping the object is the secondary preparatory stage (according to the current judgment, it incurs a sthūlātyaya). Moving the object is the proximate preparatory stage; it can be understood.
