四分律行事鈔資持記 2.976

釋第四緣，《五分》初明淨語。次列四種，解一即止，隨言通得。四皆云是，即指前物。注顯知淨。知屬前人，淨在比丘；由解此義，故號淨人。不合下，應加言字助之。若下，明緣開。開路不犯。文言不故，異上《僧祇》。

In explaining the fourth condition, the Mahīśāsaka-vinaya first explains the purifying declaration. Next it lists four kinds; understanding one is sufficient, and whatever is spoken is universally valid. All four saying "this is" points to the object mentioned before. The note reveals knowing the purification. Knowing pertains to the other person, while purification rests with the bhikṣu; because he understands this meaning, he is called a "pure person." From "It is not proper..." downward, the word "saying" should be added to assist it. From "If..." downward, it explains exceptions due to circumstances. Clearing a path is not an offense. The text says "unintentionally," which differs from the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya above.
