四分律行事鈔資持記 2.931

2.931

列緣。二中，三種不同，隨一成犯。注戒云：句義、句味、字義。釋云：句義者，同誦不前不後也。（疏云同誦偈也，此通長行，文盡見義，故云句義。）句味者，眼無常等（一句之下，理味自足。）；字義者同，誦阿字也（誦呪之類）。用此三種配緣中三字，小有差倒。第四謂授法時抄前合誦也。

Listing conditions. In the second, there are three different kinds, any one of which constitutes a violation. The note to the precept says: phrase meaning, phrase flavor, and character meaning. The explanation says: phrase meaning refers to reciting together, neither ahead nor behind. (The Commentary says reciting gāthās together; here it extends to prose, where meaning is fully seen when the text is completed, hence called phrase meaning.) Phrase flavor refers to "eyes are impermanent," etc. (under one phrase, the principle and flavor are naturally complete); character meaning refers to reciting the letter "a" together (such as reciting dhāraṇīs). Matching these three kinds with the three characters in the conditions contains a minor reversal. The fourth refers to taking from what precedes to recite together when conferring the Dharma.
