3.35

次科,先引律文。〈衣犍度〉云:諸比丘不知當作幾條衣,佛言:應五條,不應六條(下衣);應七條,不應八條(中衣);應九條,不應十條;乃至應十九條,不應二十條(大衣)。若能過是條數應畜(略上三品)。準律本無不字,後人不曉,妄注於邊;後有知者,不即削除;於下復注,點出前非;至後鏤板,不能刊正故也。今下,正斥。無正教制開者,謂非教制,復非所開,不足承用。

In the next section, the Vinaya text is first cited. The 'Cīvara-skandhaka' states: The bhikṣus did not know how many strips the robes should be made of. The Buddha said: 'It should be five strips, not six strips (the lower robe); it should be seven strips, not eight strips (the middle robe); it should be nine strips, not ten strips; up to nineteen strips, not twenty strips (the great robe). If able to exceed these numbers of strips, one should keep them (omitting the three upper grades).' According to the Vinaya, the original lacked the character 'not' (不); later people who did not understand improperly annotated it at the margin; later those who knew did not immediately excise it, but added a further note below pointing out the previous error; when it came to later woodblock carving, they were unable to correct it. From 'Now' onward, it directly refutes it. 'Lacking the authorized teaching's prohibition or exception' means it is neither prohibited nor permitted by the teaching, and is insufficient to rely upon.
