四分律行事鈔資持記 3.1083

3.1083

第四言人戒。（佛在舍衛，有尼在蘭若處，有居士為於此作精舍，後尼捨去，居士兒即犁此處，諸尼往官所言訟，令官觸彼，因。）若比丘尼，詣官言居士、若居士兒、若奴、容若作人（上並所言之人），若晝若夜，若一念頃，若彈指頃，若須臾頃，是比丘尼犯初法應捨僧伽婆尸沙。（初作便結，不同諫戒三法竟犯。）緣中。初二並局俗人，道則非重。

The fourth is the precept on making complaints against people. (The Buddha was in Śrāvastī. There was a nun at an araṇya hermitage, and a householder built a monastery for her there. Later the nun abandoned it and left, whereupon the householder's son plowed this place. The nuns went to the officials' office to litigate, causing the officials to arrest and trouble him; hence the institution.) If a bhikṣuṇī goes to an official and brings a complaint against a householder, a householder's son, a slave, or a hired laborer (all of the above are the persons spoken against), whether by day or by night, whether for a single thought-moment, the snapping of a finger, or a momentary instant, this bhikṣuṇī commits an offense requiring formal suspension upon the initial act. (It is formulated upon the initial commission, unlike the admonition precepts which are violated only after three formal procedures.) Among the conditions, the first two are restricted to laypeople; if against those on the religious path, it is not a major [saṃghāvaśeṣa].
