四分律刪補隨機羯磨 1.331

1.331

（答言：「無者。」應語言：「汝應不識此罪名。謂曾受佛戒已，犯於四重，即是佛法海外人，故名邊罪。汝不有邪？」義決云：凡問難有無，意在相解，故中、邊不相領解，尚不成犯戒、捨戒。今雖問而不識者，與不問無別。《律》云：「不成受戒。」故以下，類此可知。）

(If he answers: “I have not,” one should say to him: “You may not know the name of this offense. It refers to having previously received the Buddha's precepts and then having committed one of the four grave offenses, thereby becoming a person beyond the borders of the Buddha's Dharma; hence it is called a ‘borderline offense.’ Do you not have this?” The doctrinal resolution says: Whenever asking about the presence or absence of an impediment, the purpose lies in mutual understanding. Thus, if the candidate and the questioner do not understand each other, it does not even constitute breaking or renouncing the precepts. Now, although one asks, if the candidate does not understand, it is no different from not having asked. The Vinaya says: “The reception of the precepts is not accomplished.” Therefore, what follows should be understood analogously.)
