Visuddhimagga VI-6

Vividhaṃ khittaṃ vikkhittaṃ, vikkhittameva vikkhittakaṃ.

（6）种种离散为散乱。散乱即「散乱相」，

Ñ(VI,6): The scattered: what is strewed about (vividhaṃ khittaṃ) is scattered (vikkhittaṃ). What is scattered is the same as 'the scattered (vikkhittaka)'.



Paṭikkūlattā vā kucchitaṃ vikkhittanti vikkhittakaṃ.

或以厌恶的散乱为「散乱相」。

Ñ: Or alternatively, what is scattered (yikkhitta) is vile (kucchita) because of repulsiveness, thus it is 'the scattered (vikkhittaka)'.



Aññena hatthaṃ aññena pādaṃ aññena sīsanti evaṃ tato tato khittassa chavasarīrassetamadhivacanaṃ.

即一处是手，另一处是脚，又一处是头，这里那里散乱着的尸体是同义语。

Ñ: This is a term for a corpse that is strewed here and there in this way: 'Here a hand, there a foot, there the head' (cf. M.i,58).
