《母論》,前明受施,後辨能施,前文又二,初示結業。不如法者,或無厭治,或將非用。入下,次明感報,上句是生報。若下,即現報。今時作惡受施,不見此相者,由有生報故也。或可現纏惡疾,有同腹破;遭刑反俗,即衣離身。能施中。無業謂無行業。知穢故施,心不清淨,亦獲苦報,故二俱墮。

In the Vinayamātṛkā, the first part explains receiving offerings, and the latter part analyzes the giver. The first text also has two parts: the first indicates accumulating karma. "Not according to the Dharma" means either lacking revulsion and counteraction, or using it improperly. The text from "Entering" onwards next explains receiving retribution; the upper line is retribution in the next life. The text from "If" onwards is retribution in the present life. That those in present times who commit evil and receive offerings do not see this sign is because they have retribution in the next life. Alternatively, being currently afflicted by an evil illness is like the belly bursting; suffering punishment and returning to the laity is the robe leaving the body. In the part on the giver: "without practice" means having no behavioral practice. Giving while knowing the impurity means the mind is not pure, and one also reaps suffering retribution; hence both fall together.
