Visuddhimagga V-2

Idhāpi pubbekatādhikārassa puññavato akate āpasmiṃ pokkharaṇiyā vā taḷāke vā loṇiyaṃ vā samudde vā nimittaṃ uppajjati cūḷasivattherassa viya.

此水遍亦有曾于过去世有修习经验的具福者,则可于池、沼、盐湖、大海等自然之水而生起于相。犹如拘罗尸浮长老。

Ñ(V,2): Here too, when someone has had practice in previous [lives], the sign arises for him in water that is not made up, such as a pool, a lake, a lagoon, or the ocean as in the case of the Elder Cūḷa-Siva.



Tassa kirāyasmato lābhasakkāraṃ pahāya vivittavāsaṃ vasissāmīti mahātitthe nāvamārūhitvā jambudīpaṃ gacchato antarā mahāsamuddaṃ olokayato tappaṭibhāgaṃ kasiṇanimittaṃ udapādi.

据说:尊者舍弃了他所受的恭敬利养,欲住远离之处,于锡兰的大港(mahātittha)乘船去阎浮洲(即印度),在航行中眺望大海之际,即现起了与大海相似的遍相。

Ñ: The venerable one, it seems, thought to abandon gain and honour and live a secluded life. He boarded a ship at Mahātittha (Mannar) and sailed to Jambudīpa (India). As he gazed at the ocean meanwhile the kasiṇa sign, the counterpart of that ocean, arose in him.
