四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1387

2.1387

In the next section, from the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya, it first clarifies the improper time: it does not have to be after noon; within the proper time it is also an offense. It is stricter than our root school. Below, 'performing...', it cites and demonstrates the method of informing. According to the *Karma*: 'Venerable! I am entering the village at an improper time, going to such-and-such a city, town, or village, to the house of so-and-so.' (One recites it according to this.) Below, 'if...', it prohibits lingering. 'A road passing through a settlement' means, nowadays, thoroughfares with shops. If there is a stūpa or shrine within it, one must not circumambulate it; this is a prohibition within an allowance.
