3.102

若比丘二宿三宿軍中住或觀軍陣鬪戰若遊軍象馬力勢者波逸提　此滿足戒本文有五句。一者犯人。二有緣先在軍中。三或觀者一心明觀業。四軍陣已下所觀之境。於中有四。一軍。二陣。三鬪戰。四勢力。五者結罪。辨相中初句可知。第二句如前戒所開。第三言觀軍陣者。是觀業。四言軍陣等者。軍陣如前所明。鬪戰相狀。若戲鬪。若真實鬪。言勢力者。第一象力馬力車力步力等。五言波逸提者。是違犯句。輕重不同。若比丘往觀見者犯提。不見犯吉。餘如前戒。不犯者。若有請喚及勢力等難。命梵之難。雖不離不犯。

"If a bhikṣu stays in an army for two nights or three nights, and either views the army in battle array, or viewing the traveling army, the strength and power of the elephants and horses, it is a prāyaścittika." This complete Prātimokṣa text contains five phrases: first, the transgressor; second, first being in the army due to a reason; third, "or views," which specifically clarifies the act of viewing; fourth, from "the army in battle array" onwards, the object viewed, within which are four: 1. army, 2. array, 3. battle, 4. strength and power; fifth, the determination of the offense. In distinguishing the characteristics, the first phrase can be understood. The second phrase is as permitted in the previous precept. Third, regarding "views the army in array": this is the act of viewing. Fourth, regarding "the army in battle array" and so forth: the army in battle array is as explained before. The forms of battle are either mock combat or real combat. Regarding "strength and power": the foremost strength of elephants, strength of horses, strength of chariots, strength of infantry, and so on. Fifth, regarding "prāyaścittika": this is the phrase of violation. Minor and grave are not the same: if a bhikṣu goes to view and sees, he commits a prāyaścittika; if he does not see, he commits a duṣkṛta. The rest is as in the previous precept. As for non-offense: if there are conditions such as being summoned, or perils from authorities, or perils to life or pure conduct, even if he does not leave, there is no offense.
