四分戒本疏卷第一．第二．第三 3.51

3.51

與非親尼作衣戒第二十五　制意同前。但作衣為異　別緣有五。一是比丘尼。二非親里。三自送衣遣比丘作。四無因緣。律云。若借著浣染持還主無犯。五隨所作便犯。已下正明戒本。此戒因迦留陀夷為尼作衣。裁作婬像。成已付尼命在眾著。居士譏笑。佛便制戒。

The precept on making a robe for an unrelated bhikṣuṇī, the twenty-fifth. The intention behind the promulgation is the same as before, with the difference lying merely in making the robe. There are five specific conditions: first, she is a bhikṣuṇī; second, she is not a relative; third, she brings the cloth herself and sends the bhikṣu to make it; fourth, there is no justifying cause—the Vinaya states that if it was borrowed to wear, and he washes, dyes, and returns it to its owner, there is no offense; fifth, an offense is incurred with whatever action is performed. Below is the proper explanation of the Prātimokṣa text. This precept arose because Udāyin made a robe for a bhikṣuṇī and cut it with licentious imagery; when finished, he gave it to the bhikṣuṇī and had her wear it among the assembly. Householders ridiculed them, and the Buddha then promulgated the precept.
