量處輕重儀 1.78

1.78

已前銅器，總明斗量，餘雖不出，例準開之。即鍮鐵鉛錫、白鑞等是也。又當律開分剃刀，此由資用要器，則隨有礪石袋匣，相從入輕。餘有刀子錐針等，文雖不列，而《十誦》有之，正斷入輕。如《楞伽經》中，開畜四寸刃刀，頭如月形，為割截袈裟故。《毘尼母》中，亦開畜刀子六枚，各有所為，此則可準例也。不問頭刃方尖，柄之大小，數之多少，通斷輕收，過量者重攝。已外非法者，雖小細物，而入重中（謂摘甲剃眉略毛，刀等之類也）。

For the copper vessels above, their dou measure has been clarified in general. Although others are not explicitly mentioned, they are permitted by analogy: namely brass, iron, lead, tin, pewter, and the like. Furthermore, the Vinaya permits distributing razors. Because these are essential implements for daily use, their accompanying whetstones, pouches, and cases follow them in being classified as light property. Other items such as small knives, awls, and needles, though not listed in the text, appear in the Sarvāstivāda and are definitively classified as light property. For instance, in the Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra, keeping a knife with a four-inch blade whose tip is crescent-shaped is permitted for cutting kaṣāyas. In the Vinayamātṛkā, keeping six small knives is also permitted, each having its own purpose; these serve as precedents. Regardless of whether the tip and blade are square or pointed, the size of the handle, or the quantity, they are generally judged as classified as light property; those exceeding the proper measure are subsumed under heavy property. Aside from these, illegitimate items, even if small and fine, are classified as heavy property (meaning clippers for fingernails, razors for shaving eyebrows, knives for trimming body hair, and the like).
