2.959

別釋中，《十誦》，初明似地。發生力薄，故並犯輕。頹，崩也。石底，即石所壓地。泥字去呼，謂泥塗處。恐深至地，故制沒膝，已下無犯。除下，明緣開。作模，謂規地作相。此開生地，若準前注，未可從寬。若下，明非地不犯。赭即赤土（不生物者）。墡即白土。生石，天生石地。

In the specific explanation, citing the Daśādhyāya-vinaya: first, it clarifies earth-like matter. Because its generative power is weak, all offenses are light. "Collapse" means crumbling down. "Rock base" refers to the ground pressed down by a rock. The character ni (泥, mud) is read in the falling tone, referring to a plastered place. Fearing it might go deep to the ground, sinking past the knees is prohibited, while below that is without offense. From "Except..." onward, it clarifies exceptions due to circumstances. "Making a template" means tracing a mark on the ground. This makes an exception for raw earth; according to the previous note, one must not be too lenient. From "If..." onward, it clarifies that non-earth incurs no offense. Red ochre is red earth (that which does not produce things). White clay is white earth. Native stone is natural rocky ground.
