律戒本疏 1.11

1.11

第七有主為身作大房　闡陀比丘多知識故。給施所須助作房舍。便伐大樹輒作過量。大樹義林則處有威靈神樹多人所識。又得止息。失林樹已人既不識又失蔭源哉。共嫌㥽。由此故王龍蛇等能作患。害破梵行。毀三寶故。容四威儀。云大者此總說房耳。不必是大也。若僧不與作羯磨。不檢挍僧犯突。因此結戒。唯有主為異耳。其餘悉如上無主中說。

Seventh: having an owner [who builds] a large hut for oneself. Because the monk Channa had many acquaintances who supplied what was needed to help build the dwelling, he thereupon felled a large tree and arbitrarily exceeded the measure. In the sense of a forest, a large tree is a sacred tree endowed with majesty and spirits, known to many people, where people can also take rest. Having lost the forest trees, people no longer recognise [the place], and they also lose the source of shade. They jointly complained and grumbled. Because of this, kings, nāgas, snakes, and the like can cause troubles and harm, breaking the brahmacarya and bringing ruin to the Three Jewels. Accommodating the four postures of deportment—calling it 'large' is merely a general way of speaking about a dwelling; it does not necessarily have to be large. If the saṃgha does not perform a karman for him and does not inspect [the site], the saṃgha commits a duṣkṛta. Because of this, [the Buddha] formulated the precept. The only difference is that there is an owner; everything else is entirely as explained above under the rule without an owner.
