四分律行事鈔資持記 3.270

3.270

《母論》中，二判。儀云：若本擬盡形供給（謂盡主形。），手疏分明者，準《母論》放去。不放者，即前五中二種入僧也。注中。準放去者，既取要約分明，反例賜姓未離主者，通無分限，須入常住。故云依律，即上《四分》也。後終謂比丘亡時。即儀文云：本是賤品，賜姓從良，而未離本主；若主身死，可入常住；衣資畜產隨身所屬，不合追奪。

In the Mātṛkā there are two rulings. The Ritual says: 'If originally intended to provide service for the rest of the life (meaning the master's life) and the handwritten deed is clear, according to the Mātṛkā he is released. If not released, he is of the two kinds among the preceding five that enter the saṃgha.' In the note: 'Judging by those released', since it requires that the agreement be clear, by reverse analogy those bestowed a surname who have not yet separated from their master generally have no fixed limit and must enter the permanent property. Therefore it says 'relying on the Vinaya', which refers to the Dharmaguptaka-vinaya above. 'When he finally dies' refers to when the bhikṣu passes away. That is what the text of the Ritual says: 'Originally of base rank, bestowed a surname to become a commoner, yet not having separated from the original master; if the master himself dies, he may enter the permanent property; the clothing, supplies, and livestock belonging to his person must not be reclaimed.'
