四分律行事鈔資持記 3.509

3.509

初文《四分》七段，初明眾器。枚枝也。今但取箇數耳。謂下，列名。即二釜二瓶各有四物。則下，合數。可見。又下，次明鐵作具。韛，薄拜反，韋囊吹風入鑪。錯即是鑪。鏇音旋，古作去呼，謂轉軸用以裁器。（似今錯木塑車。）亦下，三明熏鉢物。即熏鑪熏籠等。若下，四明作衣具。絣線，振墨取直也。治下，五明補鉢具。鑽，子算反，錐也。鍱，音葉。蘭若下，六，明火具。火母，所鑽物，如竹木等。火子，取火物，如乾艾等。鑽即火鑽，亦用竹木為之。若下，七明諸鉢。初因得藥令置四種鉢中，故知得畜。文中通云不作淨施，然大鉢應量，理必須說，故注決之。（據律應是不應量者。）龍牙杙者，杙頭雙出，像龍牙故。不得下，簡非。故知上四並據泥鐵為體者。出下，別示鍵𨩲。上文示異名，下文顯體相。

In the first text, the Dharmaguptaka-vinaya has seven passages. First, it explains community utensils. Méi means branches; here it simply denotes individual count. From 'Namely...' onward, it lists their names: the two cauldrons and two bottles each have four items. From 'Then...' onward, it sums the count, which is evident. From 'Moreover...' onward, next it explains ironworking tools. Bèi (fan-qie: bó + bài) is a leather bag that blows wind into the furnace. Cuò is a furnace. Xuàn (pronounced xuán, anciently pronounced in the falling tone) means a rotating spindle used to cut vessels (similar to today's lathe for shaping wood). From 'Also...' onward, thirdly it explains items for smoking bowls, which are smoking stoves, smoking cages, and the like. From 'If...' onward, fourthly it explains tools for making robes. Snapping the cord means snapping the ink line to get a straight line. From 'Repairing...' onward, fifthly it explains tools for mending bowls. Zuān (fan-qie: zǐ + suàn) is an awl. Dié is pronounced yè. From 'Araṇya...' onward, sixthly it explains fire-making implements. The 'fire mother' is the object being drilled into, such as bamboo or wood. The 'fire child' is the tinder for catching fire, such as dry mugwort. The drill is the fire-drill, also made using bamboo or wood. From 'If...' onward, seventhly it explains various bowls. Initially, upon receiving medicine, [bhikṣus] were ordered to place it in four kinds of bowls; thus we know keeping them is permitted. Although the text generally says one does not perform purification through donation, large bowls of standard measure must logically be declared; hence the commentary decides this (according to the Vinaya, they should be non-standard ones). A 'dragon-tooth peg' is one whose peg-head bifurcates, resembling dragon teeth. From 'Must not...' onward, it excludes improper ones; thus we know the four above are all based on clay and iron as their material substance. From 'Leaving...' onward, it separately shows the bolt. The text above shows alternative names, while the text below clarifies their physical form.
