四分律行事鈔資持記 3.1064

3.1064

三中，《善見》，初示分齊。半由旬，即二十里。一下，顯相依。請法，謂夏初已來，咨求教誨。說證，即自恣。若下，明緣開，初明比丘有緣不至。若初下，次明比丘結竟潛去。開制可見。《僧祇》。一比丘者，不必眾故。三由旬通結，謂結為一界。尼界本制二里，有難同僧。彼云：若安居中，比丘若死，若罷道，若餘處去，尼不得去；三由旬有僧伽藍，應通結界，半月應往問布薩；使來去無障，不破安居。

In the third [section], the Samantapāsādikā first demonstrates the boundary: half a yojana is twenty li. From 'One...' onward, showing mutual reliance. 'Requesting the Dharma' refers to asking for instruction from the beginning of the retreat onward. 'Speaking the testimony' refers to pravāraṇā. From 'If...' onward, clarifying the conditions for exceptions: first, clarifying that bhikṣus have conditions preventing their arrival. From 'If initially...' onward, next clarifying that the bhikṣus secretly depart after establishing [the retreat]. The exceptions and prohibitions can be seen. In the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya, 'one bhikṣu' means not necessarily a full assembly. 'Delineating across three yojanas' means delineating as a single boundary. The nuns' boundary was originally set at two li; when there is distress, it is the same as the monks'. It states: 'If during the retreat, a bhikṣu dies, disrobes, or goes elsewhere, the nuns must not leave; if there is a saṅghārāma within three yojanas, they should delineate a shared boundary, and every half-month go to inquire about the poṣadha; so that coming and going are unimpeded, not breaking the retreat.'
