Visuddhimagga VI-40

Okāsato pana imasmiṃ nāma okāse hatthā, imasmiṃ pādā, imasmiṃ sīsaṃ, imasmiṃ majjhimakāyo ṭhitoti vavatthapetabbaṃ.

⑤「以处」，当确定手在此处，足在此处，头在此处，中部身体在此处；

Ñ(VI,40): (5) He should define it by its location thus: 'The hand is in this location, the foot in this, the head in this, the middle of the body in this'.



Atha vā ahaṃ imasmiṃ okāse ṭhito asubhanimittaṃ imasminti vavatthapetabbaṃ.

或者确定我是站在此处，而不净相则在彼处。

Ñ: Or alternatively, he can define it thus: 'I am in this location; the sign of foulness is in that'.
