（4）（性行者的适不适）── 何种性行者适合于何种，兹先就「贪行者」说：他的住处布置于任何不净的栏杆的地上，自然的山窟[kū]、草舍、柴庵等，散遍尘垢，充满蝙蝠，朽[xiǔ]腐崩溃，过高或过低，荒芜危惧，不净不平之道，[PTS 108] 其床椅亦充满臭虫，恶形丑色，一见而生厌恶的，像此等是适当的。

Ñ(III,97): What suits one of what kind of temperament? (§79). A suitable lodging for one of greedy temperament has an unwashed sill and stands level with the ground, and it can be either an overhanging [rock with an] unprepared [drip-ledge] (see Ch. II, note 15), a grass hut, or a leaf house, etc. It ought to be spattered with dirt, full of bats, dilapidated, too high or too low, in bleak surroundings, threatened [by lions, tigers, etc.,] with a muddy, uneven path, [108] where even the bed and chair are full of bugs. And it should be ugly and unsightly, exciting loathing as soon as looked at.

衣服则破角，垂结挂丝，褴褛[lán lǚ]如面饼似的 ── 粗如大麻布，污秽[wū huì]、沉重，难于穿着，这是适当的。

Ñ: And the right kind of bowl for him is an ugly clay bowl disfigured by stoppings and joints, or a heavy and misshapen iron bowl as unappetising as a skull.

Sayādaw U Sīlānanda: [And the right kind of bowl for him is an ugly clay bowl disfigured by stoppings and joints, or a heavy and misshapen iron bowl as unappetising as a skull. => And the right kind of bowl for him is an ugly clay bowl, or a heavy and misshapen iron bowl, disfigured by stoppings and joints, as unappetising as a skull.] Han: Mahāsī Sayādaw is the same as Sayādaw U Sīlānanda.

其行乞的村落，那里的人们对他好像没有看见似的走着，甚至连一家也得不到饮食而出来，有人偶然看见说：「来，尊者」，令入大众的休息所内给以粥饭，他们去时也如关牛于牛栏中一样的不望一下而去，那样的为适当。

Ñ: The right kind of village for him in which to wander for alms is where people wander about as if oblivious of him, where, as he is about to leave without getting alms even from a single family, people call him into the sitting hall, saying, 'Come, venerable sir', and give him gruel and rice, but do so as casually as if they were putting a cow in a pen.
