四分律行事鈔資持記 3.507

3.507

三中，《四分》六節，初制別用。若下，次制雕刻。萬字梵體作卍，佛胸前德，人多濫用。今或刺於衣角，是教所開。破下，三明補治。墁兩分者，凡鉢上下中分三分故。不得著下，四明安處。熏即熏色。言故壞者，用上四物藉之。猶故色壞，方令以鑞墁其鉢底。不得雜下，五明洗法。牛屎西國所貴，此方不用。若手下，六明帶持。口外向者，律因比丘鉢口向脇，道行遇雨，脚跌倒地，隱脇成患，佛言不應爾。搪謂二鉢相觸。《五百問》。明掛鉢當使巾裹，與壁相懸。不令以口覆壁，亦恐損色。下引《善見》。決前肩上不明左右。

In the third section, the Dharmaguptaka-vinaya has six clauses. First, it prohibits improper use. From 'If...' onward, next it prohibits carving. The Indian form of the character wàn is 卍, the virtue on the Buddha's chest, which people often use indiscriminately; today some embroider it on the corners of robes, which is permitted by the teaching. From 'Broken...' onward, thirdly it explains mending and repairing. Plastering two parts means: an almsbowl generally has upper, lower, and middle divisions, making three parts. From 'Must not place...' onward, fourthly it explains placement. 'Smoking' refers to smoking the color. Saying that it is 'still ruined' means: having used the above four materials to cushion it, the color is still ruined, only then is one ordered to plaster the bottom of the almsbowl with pewter. From 'Must not mix...' onward, fifthly it explains the method of washing. Cow dung is valued in the Western Regions, but is not used in this land. From 'If by hand...' onward, sixthly it explains carrying it. 'The mouth facing outward': in the Vinaya, because a bhikṣu had the bowl's mouth facing his ribs and, walking on the road, encountered rain, slipped, fell to the ground, and injured his ribs, causing illness, the Buddha said one should not do so. 'Clashing' refers to two bowls striking each other. The Five Hundred Questions explains that when hanging an almsbowl, one should wrap it in a cloth and suspend it away from the wall; one should not let its mouth face the wall, also fearing damage to its color. Below, quoting the Sudarśana-vinaya resolves the earlier text's failure to specify whether it goes over the left or right shoulder.
