四分律行事鈔資持記 3.154

3.154

對首中，展轉為二；前出法中為三，初財主捨物，恐犯長故。而云展轉，簡真實故。彼下，受者反問。以言展轉，不自專屬故。大德下，後明受者遙囑淨主，還付財主為彼守護。疏云：此有三轉，財主付淨，為一轉淨也；淨者遙囑，為二轉淨也；淨主不知，還付財主，三轉淨也。俱淨貪著之意。故云淨也。外下，次引制緣。三律即五、十、祇，次第三制。初制對面。即淨主前執據不還，故生諍競。因下，次制語知。又下，後制不須。彼謂己物，故恐犯長。

In [purification] facing another person, indirect [purification] is divided into two. In the former presenting the procedure, there are three parts: First, the owner of the property relinquishes the item, out of fear of committing an offense of holding surplus. Saying 'indirect' is to distinguish it from genuine [purification]. Below 'He...', the recipient asks in return. Because it is called indirect, it does not exclusively belong to oneself. Below 'Venerable Sir...', it later clarifies that the recipient remotely entrusts the owner of purification, returning it to the owner of the property to safeguard it for him. The Commentary says: 'This has three transfers: the owner of the property handing it over for purification is the first transfer of purification; the recipient of purification remotely entrusting it is the second transfer of purification; the owner of purification, without knowing it, returning it to the owner of the property is the third transfer of purification. Both purify the intention of greedy attachment; therefore it is called purification.' Below 'Externally...', next it cites the circumstances of prohibition. The three Vinayas are the *Mahīśāsaka*, *Daśādhyāya*, and *Mahāsāṃghika*, in succession across three prohibitions. The first prohibited doing it face-to-face: that is, [the other person] holding fast to it before the owner of purification and not returning it, which gave rise to disputes. Below 'Consequently...', next it prohibited informing him. Below 'Furthermore...', later it prohibited needing [to inform him]. He thought it was his own property, so he feared committing the offense of holding surplus.
