五辨羯磨中,言十羯磨者,一、受具足戒時作羯磨;二、結大小界;三、長者,景云:如大臣小子或復王子,心願出家於佛法中多有利益,然不能斷非時食等,大眾為粥長養其心,羯磨推聽和雜諸藥,作粥與之勿令根現。泰云:布薩羯磨此翻為長養,長養功德也。

In the fifth section, explaining karmans, where it speaks of the 'ten karmans': First, the karman performed when receiving full ordination. Second, demarcating large and small boundaries. Third, [nourishing] growth (poṣadha): Jing says: 'For example, if the young son of a high minister or a prince aspires to go forth and will bring great benefit to the Buddha's teachings, yet cannot give up untimely eating and the like, the saṃgha prepares gruel to nourish his mind; a karman is held to grant permission to mix various medicines and prepare gruel to give him so that the root [ingredients] do not become visible.' Tai says: 'The poṣadha karman is translated here as nourishing growth, which means nourishing wholesome merits.'
