梵網經古迹記 2.124

2.124

述曰：無擇殺生，無過放火。雉尚潤翅，救燒之難。菩薩放火，逆道之甚，所以制之。若欲放火，害命損物，別得殺盜。《瑜伽》說燒，是盜之重。此中山等，多分無主，但無慈悲。言「以惡心」，定有主物。略標有六：一、他室宅，二、城邑，三、僧坊，四、田木，五、鬼神物，六、官物。

The Commentary states: In indiscriminate slaughter of living beings, nothing surpasses setting fire. Even a pheasant moistened its wings to rescue [beings from] the calamity of fire. For a bodhisattva to set fire is a grave contravention of the path, which is why it is prohibited. If one intends to set fire to destroy life and damage property, that separately constitutes [the offenses of] killing and stealing. The Yogācārabhūmi states that burning is a grave form of stealing. Here, mountains and the like are mostly ownerless; it is simply a lack of compassion. The phrase 'with an evil mind' definitely refers to property that has an owner. Briefly, six types are marked: first, another's dwellings; second, cities and towns; third, Saṃgha quarters; fourth, fields and trees; fifth, property belonging to spirits and deities; sixth, government property.
