Yaṃ panetaṃ ‘‘kevalaṃ aṭṭhisaññāya, apharī pathaviṃ ima’’nti (theragā. 18) vuttaṃ, taṃ lābhissa sato upaṭṭhānākāravasena vuttaṃ.
其次说「我只有骨想扩大于整个大地」，是依得（骨想）者所显现的状态而说的。
Ñ(III,111): But the words 'I was intent upon this whole earth with the perception of a skeleton' (Thag.18) are said of the manner of appearance to one who has acquired that perception.
Yatheva hi dhammāsokakāle karavīkasakuṇo samantā ādāsabhittīsu attano chāyaṃ disvā sabbadisāsu karavīkasaññī hutvā madhuraṃ giraṃ nicchāresi, evaṃ theropi aṭṭhikasaññāya lābhittā sabbadisāsu upaṭṭhitaṃ nimittaṃ passanto kevalāpi pathavī aṭṭhikabharitāti cintesīti.
譬如在法阿输迦时代，有迦陵频伽鸟，于房内四方壁上的镜中，看见自己的影像，便以为四方都有迦陵频伽，而发优美的声音。长老亦然，由于骨想，得于四方而见所现之相，并想：「白骨充满于整个大地。」
Ñ: For just as in [the Emperor] Dhammāsoka's time the Karavīka bird uttered a sweet song when it saw its own reflection in the looking glass walls all round and perceived Karavīkas in every direction, so the Elder [Siṅgāla Pitar] thought, when he saw the sign appearing in all directions through his acquisition of the perception of a skeleton, that the whole earth was covered with bones.
