四分律行事鈔資持記 3.1067

3.1067

三中。受、說、安、恣，並制依僧。故通問之，總申教意。答中。經明女性，且示五相。惑色，謂著顏色；益壽，為欲壽長；畜弟子，即好多眷屬；不學問，即懈怠；知須臾事，謂短識見。賦性既爾，自無志節，義必從師，教意可見。此據大約，未必皆然。

In the third [section]: reception, recitation, retreat, and pravāraṇā are all prescribed to rely on the monks. Therefore, asking comprehensively across them summarizes the intention of the teaching. In the answer: the sutras explain female nature, showing five marks for now. Delighting in form means attachment to physical complexion; extending longevity means desiring long life; rearing disciples means loving many followers; not studying means being indolent; knowing momentary matters means having short-sighted understanding. Since their endowed nature is like this, they naturally lack steadfastness, and in principle must follow a master; the intention of the teaching can be seen. This is based on a general characterization and is not necessarily true of all.
