四分律行事鈔資持記 3.58

3.58

加正衣中，初正加割截。亦下，例通餘二。前段注中，教揲葉法；上邊須刺，下邊須開，令同割截；餘同者，即指上餘詞出《十誦》故。後注中，遮非。揲葉尚令倣同割截；今時割截，例皆縫合。時開寸許，古記相傳，謂之明孔；或云明相，又號漏塵；舉世傳訛，于今未省。今按《章服儀》云：裁縫見葉，表其截相；今並縫合，無相可分。（如此明文，人猶執諍，愚之甚矣。）是知今時不開葉相，即同下眾服縵衣耳。

Under "Ritually Receiving the Primary Robe," it first treats the standard reception of the cut-and-pieced robe. "Also... below" extends by analogy to the other two. In the note to the preceding section, the method for patching leaves is taught: the upper edge must be stitched, while the lower edge must be left open to make it identical to the cut-and-pieced robe; "the rest being the same" refers to the remaining words above, because they derive from the Daśādhyāya-vinaya. In the subsequent note, improper practices are blocked. If even patched leaves are made to imitate cut-and-pieced ones, nowadays cut-and-pieced robes are universally sewn shut. Leaving an opening of an inch or so has been handed down in ancient records as the "light aperture"; some call it the "dawn phase," and it is also called the "dust leak." The whole world has transmitted this error, and even today people remain unaware of it. Now, examining the Demeanour for Robes and Vestments, it states: "Cutting and stitching display the leaves to express their cut appearance; nowadays, they are sewn shut entirely, leaving no appearance to distinguish." (With such clear text, people still stubbornly dispute it—how extreme is their foolishness!) From this we know that not opening the appearance of the leaves nowadays makes it identical to the seamless robe worn by the lower assembly.
