「瞋行者」的住所,勿过高,勿过低,具备树荫和水,用好的隔壁柱子和阶梯,善饰以花环藤饰及种种绘画的辉耀,平滑柔软的地面,犹如梵宫一样的用各种彩花云布善为严饰天盖,善为布置有清净悦意配备的床椅,处处撒布以芳香的华香,一见而生喜悦者为适当。

Ñ(III,98): A suitable resting place for one of hating temperament is not too high or too low, provided with shade and water, with well-proportioned walls, posts and steps, with well-prepared frieze work and lattice work, brightened with various kinds of painting, with an even, smooth, soft floor, adorned with festoons of flowers and a canopy of many-coloured cloth like a Brahmā-god's divine palace, with bed and chair covered with well-spread clean pretty covers, smelling sweetly of flowers, and perfumes and scents set about for homely comfort, which makes one happy and glad at the mere sight of it.
