四分律行事鈔資持記 3.354

3.354

次明淨地，制意中，初總示，根器不同。若下，別明立教有異。初敘上根從制。分衛即乞食，《經音義》云：正言儐茶波多，此云團墮；言行乞食，團墮在鉢中也。次敘中下須開。言情同者，謂心雖慕上，力不及故。因餓死者，藥法中云：時有吐下比丘，使舍衛城人煮粥；時有因緣，城門開晚，未及得粥便死；諸比丘白佛，佛言聽在僧伽藍內結淨地。

Next, clarifying 'pure ground': in 'Intention of the Prohibition,' first it shows generally that faculties and capacities are different. 'If...' below separately explains the differences in establishing the teachings. First, it narrates that superior capacities follow the prohibition. 'Piṇḍapāta' means alms-begging; the Jingyin yi says: 'The correct term is piṇḍapāta, translated here as lump-dropping; it means that when practicing alms-begging, the lumps of food drop into the alms bowl.' Next, it narrates that intermediate and inferior [capacities] require an exception. The phrase 'their feelings being identical' means that although their minds aspire to what is superior, their strength cannot reach it. Regarding 'dying of starvation': in the Medicinal Dharmas it says: 'At that time, there was a bhikṣu with vomiting and diarrhea who sent a person of the city of Śrāvastī to boil congee. At that time, due to circumstances, the city gate opened late, and before he could obtain the congee, he died. The bhikṣus reported this to the Buddha, and the Buddha said he permitted demarcating a pure ground within the saṅghārāma.'
