四分律行事鈔資持記 3.80

3.80

敬護中，《十誦》，初通明三衣敬護之心。著下，別示大衣著用方法有四，初制作務；不得脚躡下，次制污觸；若入下，三明入聚；若逢下，四明過避。摙，力展反，謂擔運也。坐具謂床凳坐耨等。（昔人謂或著大衣，不得敷尼師壇，迷名故也。）《壇經》：明阿難結集時，迦葉尊者披僧伽梨，捉尼師壇，至阿難前；敷尼師壇禮阿難等，斯為明據，幸無疑焉。曳謂拕曳。上風避者，恐塵坌故。泥棘謂泥塗棘刺。《治禪病經》，即明大衣不許作務。（此經開懺重苦役，觀像即北教中取相懺也。）

In 'Respecting and Protecting', the *Daśādhyāya-vinaya* first generally clarifies the mind of respecting and protecting the three robes. From 'Wearing' onward, it specifically shows four methods for wearing and using the great robe: first, prohibiting manual labor; from 'May not step on with feet' onward, second, prohibiting defilement and contact; from 'If entering' onward, third, explaining entering a village; from 'If encountering' onward, fourth, explaining stepping aside to avoid [hazards]. 'Lian' (摙) has the fanqie pronunciation li-zhan; it means carrying and transporting. 'Sitting mats' refers to beds, benches, sitting cushions, and the like. (People of the past said that when wearing the great robe, one may not lay out a niṣīdāna; this was due to confusion over terms.) The *Altar Sūtra* explains: when Ānanda compiled the teachings, the Venerable Kāśyapa wore his saṃghāṭī, held his niṣīdāna, and came before Ānanda; he laid out the niṣīdāna to bow to Ānanda and others. This is clear evidence; let there be no doubt. 'Yi' (曳) means dragging. 'Stepping aside upwind' is out of fear of dust and dirt. 'Mud and thorns' refers to muddy paths and thorny briers. The *Sūtra on Curing Meditation Sickness* specifically clarifies that one is not permitted to perform manual labor while wearing the great robe. (This sūtra allows repentance through heavy, grueling labor; contemplating the image refers to repentance through grasping marks in the northern teachings.)
