四分律行事鈔資持記 2.856

2.856

不犯中。初過七日者，即初日受藥，至八日也；具兼諸過，僧不合食，故與園人。第七日者，即二日受者，既無宿觸，口法尚存，故聽僧食。三未滿者，即三日受，始得六日；限法不過，理合說淨；但隨染犯，無更服義，止得外用。初是能染，下二所染，故分三別。據此犯懺捨藥之法，而入開通者，以捨用乖法，皆有吉羅；此開小罪，故入不犯。戶嚮即門臼。

Under non-offense: first, 'exceeding seven days' refers to medicine received on the first day reaching the eighth day; possessing all faults, it is not proper for the Saṅgha to eat, so it is given to the monastery attendant. 'The seventh day' refers to what was received on the second day; since there is no overnight touch and the oral procedure still remains, the Saṅgha is permitted to eat it. Regarding 'the third, not yet full', this refers to what was received on the third day, only reaching six days; the duration of the procedure has not been exceeded, so in principle it should be declared pure; but having incurred an offense through contagion, it cannot be consumed again, and may only be used externally. The first is what can contaminate; the lower two are what are contaminated, hence the three distinctions. According to this method of confessing the offense and forfeiting the medicine, the reason it enters the permissible exceptions is that forfeiting or using it contrary to Dharma would both incur a duṣkṛta; this exempts from minor offenses, and therefore enters non-offense. 'Pivot-socket' means the socket of a door.
