Visuddhimagga VIII-157

Ayaṃ pana bhikkhu dīpisadisoti vuccati.

又说比丘如豹。

Ñ(VIII,157): And this bhikkhu is compared to a leopard.

Yathā hi mahādīpirājā araññe tiṇagahanaṃ vā vanagahanaṃ vā pabbatagahanaṃ vā nissāya nilīyitvā vanamahiṃsagokaṇṇasūkarādayo mige gaṇhāti,

譬如大豹王，依阿练若中的草、丛、森林、丛山而埋伏，以捕野牛、麋鹿、野猪等的兽类；

Ñ: For just as a great leopard king lurks in a grass wilderness or a jungle wilderness or a rock wilderness in the forest and seizes wild beasts—the wild buffalo, wild ox, boar, etc.—,

evameva ayaṃ araññādīsu kammaṭṭhānaṃ anuyuñjanto bhikkhu yathākkamena sotāpattisakadāgāmianāgāmiarahattamagge ceva ariyaphalañca gaṇhatīti veditabbo.

同样的，于阿练若中精勤业处的比丘，渐次而取须陀洹，斯陀含，阿那含，阿罗汉道及圣果。

Ñ: so too, the bhikkhu who devotes himself to his meditation subject in the forest, etc., should be understood to seize successively the paths of stream-entry, once-return, non-return, and Arahantship; and the noble fruitions as well.

Tenāhu porāṇā –

所以古人说：

Ñ: Hence the Ancients said:

‘‘Yathāpi dīpiko nāma, nilīyitvā gaṇhatī mige;

如豹埋伏，捕诸兽类，

Ñ: 'For as the leopard by his lurking [in the forest] seizes beasts

Tathevāyaṃ buddhaputto, yuttayogo vipassako;

佛子亦尔，勤瑜伽观，

Ñ: So also will this Buddhas' son, with insight gifted, strenuous,

Araññaṃ pavisitvāna, gaṇhāti phalamuttama’’nti. (pārā. aṭṭha. 2.165; dī. ni. aṭṭha. 2.374; ma. ni. aṭṭha. 1.107);

入阿练若，取最上果。

Ñ: By his retreating to the forest seize the highest fruit of all' (Miln. 369).

Tenassa parakkamajavayoggabhūmiṃ araññasenāsanaṃ dassento bhagavā ‘‘araññagato vā’’tiādimāha.

是故为示彼（比丘）的（修习的）努力相应之地的阿练若住所，而世尊说：「去阿练若」等。

Ñ: So the Blessed One said 'gone to the forest', etc., to point out a forest abode as a place likely to hasten his advancement.
