Visuddhimagga VI-4

Vicchiddaṃ vuccati dvidhā chindanena apadhāritaṃ, vicchiddameva vicchiddakaṃ.

4)解剖为二而未离开的为断坏。断坏即「断坏相」,

Ñ(VI,4): The cut up: what has been opened up[(apadhārita)] by cutting it in two is called cut up (vicchidda). What is cut up is the same as 'the cut up (vicchiddaka)'.



Paṭikkūlattā vā kucchitaṃ vicchiddanti vicchiddakaṃ.

或以厌恶的断坏为「断坏相」。

Ñ: Or alternatively, what is cut up (vicchidda) is vile (kucchita) because of repulsiveness, thus it is 'the cut up (vicchiddaka)'.



Vemajjhe chinnassa chavasarīrassetamadhivacanaṃ.

即与从中央剖开的尸体是同义语。[PTS 179]

Ñ: This is a term for a corpse cut in the middle. [179]
