四分律行事鈔資持記 2.2117

2.2117

Under the small assembly, the first section first cites the Daśādhyāya-vinaya to determine it. Because the master of confession makes the motion of agreement, outside his own person there is no Saṅgha, so there is no single jñapti. Next, it cites the Dharmaguptaka to resolve an objection: that text regards an individual as small in comparison to the Saṅgha, whereas here it is small in terms of employing persons relative to the business within the Saṅgha. Fearing that one might cling to that text as an objection, it determines it by analogy based on the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya. The upper fascicle is the 'Chapter on Assembling the Saṅgha'.
