Visuddhimagga II-54

Ayaṃpanānisaṃso, āraññiko bhikkhu araññasaññaṃ manasikaronto bhabbo aladdhaṃ vā samādhiṃ paṭiladdhuṃ laddhaṃ vā rakkhituṃ, satthāpissa attamano hoti. Yathāha – ‘‘tenāhaṃ, nāgita, tassa bhikkhuno attamano homi araññavihārenā’’ti (a. ni. 6.42; 8.86). Pantasenāsanavāsino cassa asappāyarūpādayo cittaṃ na vikkhipanti, vigatasantāso hoti, jīvitanikantiṃ jahati, pavivekasukharasaṃ assādeti, paṃsukūlikādibhāvopi cassa patirūpo hotīti.

（功德）次说功德：若住在阿练若的比丘常作阿练若想，则未得的定能得，已得的能护持，正如导师也欢喜地说：「那伽多！我非常欢喜那比丘住在阿练若。」在边鄙[bǐ]寂静住处的住者，他的心不会给不适的色等境界所扰乱。离诸怖畏。舍离生命的爱着。得尝远离的乐味。亦适宜于粪扫衣等。

Ñ(II,54): The benefits are these. A forest-dwelling bhikkhu who has given attention to the perception of forest (see M. Sutta 121) can obtain hitherto[ˌhiðəˈtu:] unobtained concentration, or preserve that already obtained. And the Master is pleased with him, according as it is said: 'So, Nāgita, I am pleased with that bhikkhu's dwelling in the forest' (A.iii,343). And when he lives in a remote abode his mind is not distracted by unsuitable visible objects, and so on. He is free from anxiety; he abandons attachment to life; he enjoys the taste of the bliss of seclusion, and the state of the refuse-rag wearer, etc., becomes him.
