梵網經古迹記 2.185

2.185

述曰：菩薩為道應惜寸陰，虛度時節制為罪也。「貝」者，螺也。《涅槃》云：吹貝知時也。「角」亦所吹，西方樂器。「波羅塞戲」者，法藏師云：是西國兵戲法，謂兩人各執二十餘小玉，乘象或馬，於局道所爭得要道以為勝也。「彈碁」者，以指彈碁子得遠為勝。世說：彈碁始自魏宮。「六博」者，雙六。「投壺」者，投杖於壺中。「八道行成」（此無譯者）。「抓鏡」者，法藏師云：承聞西方術師以藥塗爪甲呪之，即於中見吉凶等事。此等卜筮皆妖術也。又用芝草作術，或呪楊枝、或呪鉢盂、或人髑髏，並用作筮卜知吉凶。

The commentary states: A bodhisattva practicing the path should cherish every inch of time; wasting time is instituted as an offense. 'Conch' means a shell. The Nirvāṇa[-sūtra] says: 'Blowing the conch to know the hour.' 'Horns' are also wind instruments, musical instruments of the Western regions. Regarding 'the game of polasai', Master Fazang says: 'It is a Western military board game in which two players each hold twenty-some small jade pieces, ride elephants or horses, and compete for crucial routes on the board paths to secure victory.' 'Flicking chess' involves using a finger to flick a piece, winning by distance; the Shishuo [xinyu] says flicking chess originated in the Wei palace. 'Liubo' means shuangliu. 'Pitch-pot' involves throwing rods into a pot. 'The formation of eight paths' (this has no translator's gloss). Regarding 'nail-gazing', Master Fazang says: 'I have heard that Western magicians smear medicine on their fingernails and chant incantations over them, whereupon they see good and bad omens therein.' All such forms of divination are sorcery. Furthermore, using magic herbs, or incanting over willow twigs, begging bowls, or human skulls are all used for divination to discern good and bad omens.
