俱舍論記 18.113

18.113

「由苦別者至不可取量」者，此即第二釋苦別。由苦不同，施果差別。以此七種濟他苦故，依此七種功德增長，故名有依。福、業、事三，如前已釋。言七種者，一施客人，謂羇旅他鄉。二施行人，謂在路行人。三施病人，謂染疾者。四施侍病，謂看病人。五施園林，謂以園林施諸寺等。六施常食，謂有檀越布施錢財或莊田等，白眾僧言：「從今已去，日別為我設七僧齋。」此名常食。西國諸寺現有此法。又解：西方國俗，諸信福人於諸遠途、聚落絕處，恐行侶中路飢渴，故於路側逼近苑林，造舍置財多貯飲食，諸來去者所須施與。或有總施一切行人，或有但標諸出家者。常施食故，名為常食。七隨時施，謂有或寒或風或熱時，隨其所應，施彼隨時飲食、衣等，總名第七隨時施也。經復說言：若有具足淨信男女成七有依，所獲福德不可取量。

Regarding "From differences in suffering... immeasurable": this is the second, explaining differences in suffering. Because sufferings are not the same, the fruits of giving are distinguished. Because these seven kinds relieve the suffering of others, and relying on these seven kinds merit increases, they are called "with basis" (sopadhika). The three of merit, action, and basis (puṇya-kriyā-vastu) have already been explained above. As for the seven kinds: first is giving to travelers, meaning those journeying in other lands. Second is giving to wayfarers, meaning those on the road. Third is giving to the sick, meaning those afflicted with illness. Fourth is giving to those attending the sick, meaning those who nurse the sick. Fifth is giving parks and groves, meaning giving parks and groves to monasteries and so forth. Sixth is giving constant meals, meaning a donor gives money and wealth, or manors and fields, and says to the saṃgha: "From this day forward, provide a meal for seven monks daily on my behalf." This is called constant meals. The monasteries in the western lands currently have this practice. Another explanation: according to the custom of the western lands, faithful people seeking merit, along long roads and remote places where settlements are scarce, fear that traveling companions may hunger and thirst along the way; therefore, by the side of the road close to gardens and groves, they build dwellings, store wealth, and keep abundant food and drink, giving to all who come and go whatever they need. Some give generally to all travelers, while some designate only renunciants. Because meals are constantly given, they are called constant meals. Seventh is giving appropriate to the season, meaning when it is cold, windy, or hot, one provides food, drink, clothing, and so forth appropriate to the time according to what is suitable; this is collectively called the seventh, giving appropriate to the season. The sūtra further says: if there are men and women of pure faith who accomplish these seven based [meritorious bases], the merit they obtain is immeasurable.
