四分律行事鈔資持記 3.767

3.767

說法儀中，初科，初勸俗護法。以佛讚故，經云：若有人能護持法，當知是人，乃是十方諸佛大檀越也。又下，誡道受施，初示誡。葶藶子，喻其至少。次釋破相。後示惡名。滓，謂不清淨；曲，即不正直；幻，謂無真實；賊，謂侵奪妄損信施；醉，謂神性昏迷；旃陀羅，謂能害人慧命。指如三十一，今見二十八。

In the section on the protocol for expounding the Dharma, in the first subheading, it first encourages laypeople to protect the Dharma. Because it was praised by the Buddha, the sūtra says: "If there is a person who can protect and uphold the Dharma, you should know that this person is a great dānapati to the Buddhas of the ten directions." Next, under "Furthermore...", it admonishes monastics about accepting alms: it first presents the admonition. "Tumble-mustard seed" (tinglizi) is a metaphor for an extremely small amount. Next, it explains the marks of breaking [the precepts]. Afterward, it presents the bad names. "Dregs" (zi) means impure; "crooked" means not upright; "phantom" means having no reality; "thief" means encroaching upon and falsely damaging offerings of faith; "drunk" means the spiritual nature is dazed and confused; "caṇḍāla" means capable of harming a person's life of wisdom. It points to thirty-one items, but currently twenty-eight are seen.
