四分律行事鈔資持記 2.806

In the *Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya*, first it clarifies the method by which a monastery administrator conceals and retrieves [treasures]. Wrapping the eyes and turning three times is intended to make him lose his sense of direction, to prevent theft and damage. Second, from 'If a donor' down, it clarifies the method of receiving and using precious vessels: 'Should say' and so on refers to opening one's mouth to receive it when there is a circumstance. The word 'not' extends through the three marks below. 'Not praising it' indicates that it is not what one delights in, in order to restrain the donor's greed. From 'This' down, it provides a general review: both sections do not concern personal property, but are cited consecutively because one wishes to show the method of receiving and storing property of the Triratna. Still fearing confusion, it specifically points this out.
