Visuddhimagga VI-62

Tasmā evaṃ naṭṭhe nimitte tena bhikkhunā rattiṭṭhāne vā divāṭhāne vā nisīditvā ahaṃ iminā nāma dvārena vihārā nikkhamitvā asukadisābhimukhaṃ maggaṃ paṭipajjitvā asukasmiṃ nāma ṭhāne vāmaṃ gaṇhi, asukasmiṃ dakkhiṇaṃ. Tassa asukasmiṃ ṭhāne pāsāṇo, asukasmiṃ vammikarukkhagacchalatānamaññataraṃ. Sohaṃ tena maggena gantvā asukasmiṃ nāma ṭhāne asubhaṃ addasaṃ. Tattha asukadisābhimukho ṭhatvā evañcevañca samantā nimittāni sallakkhetvā evaṃ asubhanimittaṃ uggahetvā asukadisāya susānato nikkhamitvā evarūpena nāma maggena idañcidañca karonto āgantvā idha nisinnoti evaṃ yāva pallaṅkaṃ ābhujitvā nisinnaṭṭhānaṃ, tāva gatāgatamaggo paccavekkhitabbo.

所以那失去了不净相的比丘,当在夜住处或日住处中坐下:「我是从这扇门出寺,向某方面的道路走去,在某处向左转,某处向右折,某地方有石头,某处有蚁塔、树、灌木、蔓藤,我在那条路步行时,在某处得见不净相,在那里向那方面站着,如此如此考察四方诸相,如是取得不净相之后,由某方从冢墓出来,由这样的路作如是如是的回来,在此处坐」,应如是在坐处中结跏趺坐,考察其往来的路。

Ñ(VI,62): So when the sign has vanished in this way, the bhikkhu should sit down in his night quarters or in his day quarters and first of all review the path gone by and come by up to the place where he is actually sitting cross-legged, doing it in this way: 'I went out of the monastery by this gate, I took a path leading in such and such a direction, I turned left at such and such a place, I turned right at such and such a place, in one part of it there was a stone, in another an ant-hill or a tree or a bush or a creeper, having gone by that path, I saw the foulness in such and such a place, I stood there facing in such and such a direction and observed such and such surrounding signs, I apprehended the sign of foulness in this way; I left the charnel ground in such and such a direction, I came back by such and such a path doing this and this, and I am now sitting here'.
