Visuddhimagga II-81

Tattha dhutoti dhutakileso vā puggalo kilesadhunano vā dhammo.

（1）头陀——是除遣烦恼的人，或为除遣烦恼的法。

Ñ(II,81): Herein, ascetic means either a person whose defilements are shaken off, or a state that entails shaking off defilements.



Dhutavādoti ettha pana atthi dhuto na dhutavādo, atthi na dhuto dhutavādo, atthi neva dhuto na dhutavādo, atthi dhuto ceva dhutavādo ca.

（2）头陀说——这里有是头陀非头陀说，非头陀是头陀说，非头陀非头陀说，是头陀是头陀说。

Ñ: A preacher of asceticism: one is ascetic but not a preacher of asceticism, another is not ascetic but a preacher of asceticism, another is neither ascetic nor a preacher of asceticism, and another is both ascetic and a preacher of asceticism.
