四分律行事鈔資持記 3.19

3.19

《悲華》文出第八。如來因地為大悲菩薩時，發此願也。五中，初與四滅惡力，初是除業，四即息諍。餘三生善力，二獲來果，三感現樂，五增長威勢。四中共相違反者，經云：其有眾生不相從順，多饒怨嫉，共相鬪戰；乃至交戰之時，能念袈裟，令彼眾生得悲心軟心無怨心等。五云勝他者，彼云：眾生若於鬪戰諍訟，為護身故，尊重恭敬供養袈裟，常持自隨；令彼眾生所在常勝，無能陵者；縱鬪戰諍訟，安隱解脫等。諒是慚愧人，衣慈悲之服，忽生思念，即息諍情，故諸比丘深思佛語。或起瞋毒，當自觀身；既服袈裟，寧無慚恥。若我下，述誠求證。菩薩說是願已。寶藏如來伸金色臂，摩菩薩頂，讚言：善哉善哉，大丈夫，汝所言者，是大珍寶，是大賢善；汝成道已，袈裟能成此五聖功德。

The Karuṇāpuṇḍarīka text appears in the eighth [fascicle]. This was the vow made by the Tathāgata on the causal ground when he was the Bodhisattva Mahākāruṇika. Among the five, the first and fourth are powers to eliminate evil: the first eliminates karmic [obscurations], and the fourth halts disputes. The remaining three are powers to generate good: the second obtains future fruits, the third brings about present joy, and the fifth increases authority and power. In the fourth, "mutually opposing each other", the sūtra states: "If there are sentient beings who do not comply with one another, full of enmity and jealousy, fighting and warring with one another, down to the time of mutual combat, if they can be mindful of the kaṣāya, they will cause those sentient beings to attain compassionate minds, soft minds, minds without enmity, and so forth." In the fifth, "overcoming others", that [sūtra] states: "If sentient beings, in fighting, warfare, or litigation, in order to protect their bodies, venerate, revere, and make offerings to the kaṣāya, always keeping it with them, they will cause those sentient beings to be constantly victorious wherever they are, with none able to oppress them; even in fighting, warfare, or litigation, they will achieve peace and liberation," and so on. Truly, when a person with shame and conscience wears the robe of compassion and suddenly gives rise to mindfulness, contentious feelings are halted; therefore bhikṣus should deeply reflect upon the Buddha's words. If the poison of anger should arise, one ought to observe one's own body: having donned the kaṣāya, how could one be without shame and remorse? "If I..." below expresses sincerity in seeking confirmation. After the Bodhisattva made this vow, Ratnagarbha Tathāgata extended his golden arm, patted the Bodhisattva's crown, and praised him: "Well done, well done, Great Man! What you have spoken is a great precious treasure, a great virtue. After you attain enlightenment, the kaṣāya will be able to accomplish these five noble merits."
