3.104

In [item] four, the first subsection has three passages. The Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya clarifies increasing the measurement, first showing the method of increasing. "Two or three layers" both follow the original material. "Matching ends" means the two borders meet edge to edge. Below, it restricts the limit: one can only obtain one foot. "Reciprocally exceeding and reducing": exceeding in length and reducing in width, or exceeding in width and reducing in length; both exceeding can be understood, while both reducing entails no fault. From "Various..." downward, it generally points out that the methods of increasing in the other divisions are all identical.
