四分律行事鈔資持記 2.492

2.492

Under non-offenses, the first subsection has three: taking and giving, settling disputes, touching because of circumstances. Joking and laughing, because it is not the principal intention. 'Taking' means taking an object from another; 'giving' means handing an object to another. 'Settling disputes' means resolving their quarrels. That it is not a non-offense encompasses the three exceptions above, which may still admit of thullaccaya or duṣkṛta; therefore it continues by citing the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya to clarify it.
