四分律行事鈔資持記 2.848

2.848

In listing the conditions: the fourth is the principal basis of the action. Regarding 'promising the price', the *Pātimokkha* says: 'even up to the price of a single meal'. From 'The *Dharmaguptaka-vinaya*...' onward, it separately explains the sixth [condition], which determines the preparatory stage. The *Sarvāstivāda Vinaya Vibhāṣā* says: in the previous precept, relying on influence to send it to be woven incurs the offense upon completion; in this precept, seeking it oneself incurs the offense upon receipt. The commentary asks: how does this precept's causing loss of thread differ from the previous one with one or two householders? Answer: previously one faced the owner of the thread; here one privately urges the weaver, hence the two separate prohibitions.
