四分律行事鈔資持記 3.73

3.73

補治中，初科，《十誦》。乃約刺縫以分持犯。二罪者，不說淨提，不點淨吉。《母論》中，初以未淨，縫已淨者。所依有法，攝能依故。若下，次以已淨縫未淨者。能依有法，染所依故。上明衣和合淨，彼論更有色和合淨，故云通二種也。《羯磨》引云：若色非法，縫著如法者，是名色和合淨，更不須別淨（謂不更點淨也）。論文但云縫著，注令準上《十誦》通之。

In 'Patching and Mending', the first section cites the *Daśādhyāya-vinaya*. It distinguishes maintenance and violation based on stitching and sewing. 'Two offenses' refers to pāyattika for not verbally purifying it, and duṣkṛta for not marking it for purification. In the *Mātṛkā*, first, sewing an unpurified [cloth] onto an already purified one: because what is relied upon has the legal status, it gathers what relies upon it. From 'If' onward, next, sewing an already purified [cloth] onto an unpurified one: because what relies upon it has the legal status, it taints what is relied upon. The above explains purity through the combination of robes; that treatise further has purity through the combination of colors, hence it says 'applies to both kinds'. The *Karmavācanā* commentary cites: 'If the color is non-dharmic, but sewn onto what is dharmic, this is called purity through the combination of colors, and does not require separate purification' (meaning it is not marked for purification again). The treatise text only says 'sewn onto'; the note directs that it be understood consistently with the *Daśādhyāya-vinaya* above.
