譬如有人拿了一根像羊足般的棒（如叉类），去探寻夜间进入屋内的蛇，并已看见那蛇横卧于谷仓中，再去考察：「是否是蛇？」等到看见了三卍字(sovattikattaya)的花纹便无疑惑了，于是对于「是蛇非蛇」的分别便不关心了 [PTS 162]；同样的，精勤作观者，以观智见得（无常、苦、无我）三相之时，对于诸行无常等的分别便不关心了，是名「观舍」。
Ñ(IV,168): Just as, when a man has seen a snake go into his house in the evening and has hunted for it with a forked stick, and then when he has seen it lying in the grain store and has looked to discover whether it is actually a snake or not, and then by seeing three marks (sovattikattaya) has no more doubt, and so there is neutrality in him about further investigating whether or not it is a snake, [162] so too, when a man has begun insight, and he sees with insight knowledge the three characteristics, then there is neutrality in him about further investigating the impermanence, etc., of formations, and that neutrality is called equanimity about insight.

Ñ's notes: Sovatthika-ttaya — 'three marks'; cf. Ch. XXI, §49.
