210. Kheḷoti antomukhe pheṇamissā āpodhātu.

（29）「唾」是在口内混以泡沫的水界（液体）。

[SPITTLE]

Ñ(VIII,135): This is water element mixed with froth inside the mouth.

So vaṇṇato seto pheṇavaṇṇo.

它的「色」白如泡沫色。

Ñ: As to colour, it is white, the colour of the froth.

Saṇṭhānato okāsasaṇṭhāno.

「形」──如其处所之形，

Ñ: As to shape, it is the shape of its location,

Pheṇasaṇṭhānotipi vattuṃ vaṭṭati.

亦可说如泡沫形。

Ñ: or it can be called 'the shape of froth'.

Disato uparimāya disāya jāto.

「方位」──生于上方。

Ñ: As to direction, it belongs to the upper direction.

Okāsato ubhohi kapolapassehi oruyha jivhāya ṭhito.

「处所」──自两颊边下流于舌上。

Ñ: As to location, it is to be found on the tongue after it has descended from the cheeks on both sides.

Na cesa ettha sadā sannicito hutvā tiṭṭhati.

然而此（唾）并非常积聚在舌上的；

Ñ: And it is not always to be found stored there;

Yadā pana sattā tathārūpamāhāraṃ passanti vā saranti vā,

当有情看见或忆想某种食物之时，

Ñ: but when beings see particular kinds of food, or remember them,

uṇhatittakaṭukaloṇambilānaṃ vā kiñci mukhe ṭhapenti,

或把任何热、苦、辛、咸、酸等味放到舌上之时，

Ñ: or put something hot or bitter or sharp or salty or sour into their mouths,

yadā vā nesaṃ hadayaṃ āgilāyati, kismiñci deva vā jigucchā uppajjati,

或者心脏（对某特殊食物）厌倦及对任何种类而生厌恶之时，

Ñ: or when their hearts are faint, or nausea arises on some account,

tadā kheḷo uppajjitvā ubhohi kapolapassehi oruyha jivhāya saṇṭhāti.

则唾生自两颊之侧而下流止于舌上。

Ñ: then spittle appears and runs down from the cheeks on both sides to settle on the tongue.

Aggajivhāya cesa tanuko hoti,

在舌端的唾是淡的。

Ñ: It is thin at the tip of the tongue,

mūlajivhāya bahalo,

在舌根的是浓的。

Ñ: and thick at the root of the tongue.

mukhe pakkhittañca puthukaṃ vā taṇḍulaṃ vā aññaṃ vā kiñci khādanīyaṃ nadīpuline khatakūpakasalilaṃ viya parikkhayaṃ agacchantova temetuṃ samattho hoti.

把磨了的米或饭或任何其它硬食放到口里的时候，犹如在河堤的沙中掘的小穴，不断的渗出水来，[PTS 264] （唾）亦不尽的流来而得滋润（食物）。

Ñ: It is capable, without getting used up, of wetting unhusked rice or husked rice or anything else chewable that is put into the mouth, like the water in a pit scooped out in a river sand bank. [264]

Paricchedato kheḷabhāgena paricchinno,

「界限」──以唾的部分为限。

Ñ: As to delimitation, it is bounded by what appertains to spittle.

ayamassa sabhāgaparicchedo.

这是它的「自分的界限」。

Ñ: … (This is the delimitation by the similar.)

Visabhāgaparicchedo pana kesasadisova.

「他分的界限」与发相似。

Ñ: (But their delimitation by the dissimilar is like that for the head hairs.)
