四分律行事鈔資持記 3.678

3.678

二失法中，初科，先敘得失。與之且言福敬，奪之過在無法。但下，次列非相，又二，初斥造像，前明經營不淨；菩薩下，次示形像乖儀。身量論其價直，故但問短長；相好不令用工，故不論全具。爭價利鈍者，利謂匠工，欲其多得；鈍即主者，不肯增加。計供，即飲食供給。上四句，是營句人非。酒下四句，即匠者之非。餉遺，即獻送，遺字去呼。致下二句，顯其無功。樹字上呼。形體裸露，腰身曲折，故類婬女。（古記謂言不便，故音為遙，以訓美好不見意也；此責造人，豈斥聖像；必謂婬女言麁，妬婦云何不改；今但依字，余針反之，不勞穿鑿。）令瞋努目，袒膊揮拳，故逾妬婦。乃至下，次明造經。弱筆，謂不善書者。惡匠，謂不擇良工。鄙養，即薄於供給。

In the second part, on losing the regulations: in the first section, it first recounts gain and loss. Conceding to them, one speaks for the moment of merit and respect; taking it away from them, the fault lies in being without the regulations. Below, 'merely' next lists improper forms, also in two parts: first, it censures image-making, with the preceding part explaining impure management; below, 'bodhisattvas' next indicates the forms deviating from proper decorum. 'The bodily dimensions are debated for their monetary price,' hence they only ask about length; 'the marks and signs do not engage craftsmanship,' hence they do not discuss whether they are complete and full. 'Wrangling over the sharpness or dullness of the price': 'sharp' means the craftsman wishes to obtain more; 'dull' means the patron is unwilling to add to it. 'Calculating provisions' refers to supplying food and drink. The upper four phrases are the wrongs of the manager. The four phrases below 'wine' are the wrongs of the craftsman. 'Sending gifts' means presenting offerings; the character 遺 is pronounced in the departing tone. The two phrases below 'resulting in' reveal their lack of merit. The character 樹 is pronounced in the rising tone. With forms and bodies naked and exposed, and waists and bodies curved and twisted, they thus resemble lustful women. (An ancient record thought the phrasing was inconvenient, so it pronounced it as yao to gloss it as beautiful, failing to see the intent; this rebukes the maker, how could it censure the holy image? If one must consider 'lustful woman' to be crude speech, why not alter 'jealous wife'? Now one should simply follow the character, as the fanqie of yu-zhen; there is no need for forced interpretations.) Making them glare with wrath and open wide their eyes, bare their shoulders and wield their fists, they thus exceed jealous wives. Below, 'and even' next explains the copying of scriptures. 'Weak brushes' refers to those unskilled at calligraphy. 'Bad craftsmen' refers to not selecting fine artisans. 'Mean support' means being stingy with supplies.
