四分律行事鈔資持記 3.496

3.496

三中，初指定教量。律下，別斥非法又二，初遮妄執，前引彼所據。《業疏》云：有人言律制量腹而食，何定量也？隨得成受，未必依論。此不標古，直爾遮之。言下，正斥。上句是縱，下句是奪。世下，次斥執小鉢。號非法者，違教量故，以須如法方堪受淨故。

In the third section, first the measure taught in the scriptures is specified. From "The Vinaya" onward, it separately refutes illegality, which also has two parts: first, it prevents erroneous attachments, where the previous part cites what they rely on. The *Karma Commentary* says: "Some say that the Vinaya regulates eating according to the capacity of the belly, so how could there be a fixed measure? As long as one receives it, it becomes valid, and one does not necessarily have to follow the treatises." This does not single out the ancients, but straightforwardly prevents it. From "The word" onward, it directly refutes it. The upper sentence is a concession; the lower sentence is a refutation. From "The world" onward, it next refutes grasping at a small bowl. The designation "illegal" is due to violating the scriptural measure, because it must be in accordance with the Dharma to be fit for receiving purification.
