四分律行事鈔資持記 3.1084

3.1084

犯相中，《四分》，初示所詣。官及斷事人，謂鄉邑之長吏也。次簡言相。下疏口說，狀詞揩定，言說通泛，故罪兩分。《善見》，初明互相言。方便趣果，成犯分齊；但取言他，不論得理。居士言尼，不犯可解。若尼下，二明奪物。犯罪者隨，成盜損故；應償者，是俗物故。

Among the marks of the offense, the Dharmaguptaka-vinaya first indicates the person approached. 'Officials and judges' refers to the magistrates of townships and hamlets. Next it distinguishes the nature of the speech. Below, the commentary notes that for oral statements, if the written accusation is fixed, but spoken words are general, the offenses are split in two. The Samantapāsādikā first explains reciprocal complaints. The preparatory stages tending toward the culmination constitute the measure of the offense; it only considers speaking against another, without regard to whether one is in the right. It is understandable that a householder's complaint against a nun is not an offense. From 'If a nun' below, the second part explains seizing property. The offender incurs an offense accordingly because it constitutes theft and loss; that it must be compensated is because it is secular property.
