Visuddhimagga VIII-17

Idaṃ maraṇaṃ nāma mahāyasānaṃ mahāparivārānaṃ sampannadhanavāhanānaṃ mahāsammatamandhātumahāsudassana daḷhanemi nimippabhutīnampi upari nirāsaṅkameva patitaṃ,

对于有大名声，大眷属，大财富及多牲骑等，[PTS 233] 如摩诃三摩多王(Mahāsammata)，曼陀多王(Mandhātu)，大善见王(Mahāsudassana)，坚辐王(Daḷhanemi)，尼弥王(Nimi)等，无疑的都已为死所侵袭，

Ñ(VIII,17): Although Mahāsammata, Mandhātu, Mahāsudassana, Daḷhanemi, Nimi, etc., were greatly famous and had a great following, and though they had amassed enormous wealth, yet death inevitably caught up with them at length,

kimaṅgaṃ pana mayhaṃ upari na patissati?

像我这样的人怎么不为所侵呢？

Ñ: so how shall it not at length overtake me?

Mahāyasā rājavarā, mahāsammataādayo;

Tepi maccuvasaṃ pattā, mādisesu kathāva kāti.

摩诃三摩多等大名的大王，

他们都已为死所制服，

如我这等人，

更有何言说。

Ñ: Great kings like Mahāsammata,

Whose fame did spread so mightily,

All fell into death's power too;

What can be said of those like me?

Evaṃ tāva yasamahattato anussaritabbaṃ.

如是先以大名声比较而念死。

Ñ: It should be recollected in this way, firstly, by comparison with those of great fame.
