sthūlâtyaya

• Transliteration of the Sanskrit, meaning "serious crime." One of the six grades of crimes 六聚罪 (see also 篇聚). An unconsummated offense of 波羅夷, 僧殘, and the four transgressions not included in the five categories of precepts 五篇, i.e. the stealing of less than five māsa (Pāli thullaccaya, thūlaccaya). Translated as "designed crime" 方便罪, or "uncompleted crime" 未遂罪, or "crude crime" 麁罪 (麤罪). If one plans to commit a pārājika or saṃghâtiśeṣa offense but stops just short of carrying it out, or if one plans to commit such an offense and fails, it is a sthūlâtyaya offense. In other words, it is an attempted offense. However, if one plans to commit a pārājika or saṃghâtiśeṣa offense, but stops at the very first stage, it is a vinayâtikrama. If one continues, it is a sthūlâtyaya; and if one actually breaks the precept, it is a pārājika or saṃghâtiśeṣa. Thus the range covered by the sthūlâtyaya is vague, from offenses close to pārājikas to those close to vinayâtikrama. the Sarvâstivādin Vinaya 十誦律 divides sthūlātyaya offenses into four types ranging from light to heavy offenses. (Hirakawa Akira, Monastic Discipline for the Buddhist Nuns, p. 166). [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Nakamura, JEBD, Hirakawa, E. Cho, Yokoi]
• The four types of sthūlātyaya are called 四偸羅遮 or 四偸蘭遮. [resp. Charles Muller]
• Also transliterated as 偸蘭遮耶, 偸羅遮, 薩偸羅, 土羅遮, 窣吐羅, and 窣吐羅底也; abbreviated as 偸蘭. Translated as 大罪, 重罪, 粗罪, 粗惡, 粗過, and 大障善道. [resp. Soothill]
