四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1269

2.1269

In the *Dharmaguptaka-vinaya*, it first explains the excusing conditions. Fearing that it might be taken to mean living ground, the note distinguishes it. From 'If' onward, the second part explains establishing the offense when there is no excusing circumstance. Four items are listed for now; in the Vinaya there are additionally branches, leaves, ramie, hemp, and cow dung, which are also subsumed within the four. (The first three are grass and wood, and the last one is sweepings.) The phrase 'if half-burned' forms an independent clause, and together with 'lighting charcoal' below, each is a separate matter. The Vinaya says: 'If it has been burned until half-charred and one throws it into the fire, or if one lights charcoal, it is a duṣkṛta.'
