Second, explaining the specific measurements. After quoting the general texts, the Shichao continues: "Even so, there must also be a standard." Thus the Sarvāstivāda-vinaya and the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya each have three grades of measurements. Now, following the Sarvāstivāda: "The three robes are five hastas in length and three hastas in width. (Each hasta is one chi and eight cun. According to the Ji-Zhou chi, it is nine chi in length and five chi and four cun in width.) If the maximum size: six hastas in length and three and a half hastas in width. (One zhang and eight cun in length, and six chi and three cun in width. Some people obstinately cling to this maximum measure. Since they are divided into three grades, how can one cling to just one? Even supposing one follows this, it still does not reach twelve chi; consider this!) If the minimum size: four hastas in length and two and a half hastas in width. (Seven chi and two cun in length, and four chi and five cun in width.) If it exceeds the measurement, unless it is transferred through declaration of purification, one commits a naiḥsargika-prāyaścittika." The Dharmaguptaka-vinaya says: "The antarvāsaka is four hastas in length and two hastas in width (seven chi and two cun in length, and three chi and six cun in width). The uttarāsaṅga is five hastas in length and three hastas in width; the saṅghāṭī is likewise (nine chi in length and five chi and four cun in width)."
