2.973

行護中有十一節，隨次點示，初明總淨。畏年少者，恐彼不作淨語故。言春去者，由先已淨，不須淨語。已前種果，皆可準之，故云餘事類知。若以下，明壞種。越是方便，死提即果罪。若草下，明踐草。言欲令者，即是故心。石下，明護衣毛。石衣即苔蘚；毛，謂蒸潤生者，皆有生性故。雨下，明舉物。與下不犯相違，故注和會。夏下，明暫繫。夏有時限，故遍言之。泥下，明緣開。水下，明護浮萍。擲石至天者，何有此理？開必須法，令無自任。恐生輕疑，故特注之。若下，明作務。就葉飲者，以泥作手污，不執餘器故。水下，明損淨萍。水草即萍等。若下，明非久物。朝菌即地蕈，《指歸》云：此生於地，八月有，朝生暮死。準此，例上衣毛，損應得吉。

In maintaining protection there are eleven clauses, pointed out and explained in order. First, it explains general purification. Fearing the young is for fear that they will not make the purifying declaration. Saying that spring has passed is because it has already been purified previously and does not require a purifying declaration. All the seeds and fruits mentioned above can be determined analogously; hence it says "other matters should be known by analogy." From "If with..." downward, it explains damaging seeds. The preparatory stage incurs a duṣkṛta, while the resultant offense is a dead pāyattika. From "If grass..." downward, it explains treading on grass. Saying "intending to..." denotes intentionality. From "Stone..." downward, it explains protecting stone-hair. Stone-hair means moss and lichen; "hair" refers to what grows from steaming moisture, all of which have a living nature. From "Rain..." downward, it explains lifting objects. Because this contradicts the non-offenses below, the note harmonizes them. From "Summer..." downward, it explains temporary tethering. Summer has a fixed duration, which is why it speaks of it universally. From "Mud..." downward, it explains exceptions due to circumstances. From "Water..." downward, it explains protecting duckweed. Throwing stones reaching the sky—how could there be such a principle? An exception must follow proper procedure so that people do not act arbitrarily. Fearing that light doubts might arise, a note was specially made for it. From "If..." downward, it explains performing work. Drinking directly from a leaf is because the hands are soiled with mud and one does not hold other vessels. From "Water..." downward, it explains damaging purified duckweed. Water plants refer to duckweed and the like. From "If..." downward, it explains short-lived things. Morning fungi are mushrooms; the Zhigui says: these grow on the ground, appear in the eighth month, and sprout in the morning and die in the evening. By this analogy, following the stone-hair above, damaging them should incur a duṣkṛta.
