四分律行事鈔資持記 2.537

Under "exceeding the measure," the first section. In the Sudarśanavinayavibhāṣā, there should be four propositions; the text mentions two correlative ones; both are easy to understand, and are therefore not elaborated. The text provisionally presents one span as the measurement; when discussing excess or reduction in full, it need not be limited to this. From "If..." downward explains multiple people completing it together; here there are two distinctions. First, it explains that there is no offense: a guest completes it for the owner, and the owner does not carry it through to fruition; hence it is said there is no offense, [though] correspondingly there is a preparatory stage. From "Because..." downward explains the reason there is no offense: host and guest complete it together, and it does not pertain exclusively [to one person]. From "If..." downward next explains that there is an offense. The above concerned one hut being completed successively; this is based on a large hut being built simultaneously. If it is generally intended for multiple people and not individually calculated, the text lies within the exceptions.
