四分律行事鈔資持記 3.1089

次科。據本成犯，須約村門。古解越界，乃約村中橫道成殘；不唯太過，抑亦昧文。下引律證。明約村門，足知非解。出村亦犯，即知入出，皆名越界。

In the next section, constituting an offense according to the root text must be reckoned at the village gate. The ancient interpretation of crossing the boundary reckoned that traversing a crossroad within a village constituted a saṃghāvaśeṣa; this is not only excessive, but also obscures the text. Below, the Vinaya is cited as proof: it clearly reckons it at the village gate, which suffices to show the error of that interpretation. Leaving the village is also an offense, which shows that entering and leaving are both termed crossing the boundary.
