四分律行事鈔資持記 2.2191

2.2191

In the ritual of confession, "arising therefrom" refers to concealment; it first points to the preceding. "The ritual of forfeiture" refers to niḥsargika-pāyattika. From "Not" onward prevents confusion. The Vinaya states: "If one commits [an offense from] saṃghāvaśeṣa down to duṣkṛta, knowing it and concealing it, one should first be instructed to perform duṣkṛta confession, and afterward confess according to the Dharma." (The first category follows the same rule.) Hence it says that the Vinaya text makes its own division, meaning that offenses such as concealment are confessed separately from the root offenses of the six clusters; now if one were to confess them together, this would be to suppress the scriptural teachings, hence it says "it must not be suppressed." (According to this, there are cases in the same category that are not combined.)
