Visuddhimagga VIII-43

Tattha yasmā iriyāpathapabbaṃ catusampajaññapabbaṃ dhātumanasikārapabbanti imāni tīṇi vipassanāvasena vuttāni.

此(十四节)中,(二)威仪节,(三)四正知节,及(五)界作意节的三节依观说,

Ñ(VIII,43): Herein, the three, that is to say, the sections on postures, on the four kinds of full awareness (see MA.i,253f.), and on attention directed to elements, as they are stated [in that sutta], deal with insight.



Nava sivathikapabbāni vipassanāñāṇesuyeva ādīnavānupassanāvasena vuttāni.

(六至十四)九种墓节依(第二十一品的九)观智中的(第四)过患随观(智)说。

Ñ: Then the nine sections on the charnel-ground contemplations, as stated there, deal with that particular phase of insight knowledge called contemplation of danger.



Yāpi cettha uddhumātakādīsu samādhibhāvanā ijjheyya, sā asubhaniddese pakāsitāyeva.

又此(九墓节)已在膨胀相等定的修习的(第六品之十)不净的解释中说明。

Ñ: And any development of concentration in the bloated, etc., that might be implied there has already been explained in the Description of Foulness (Ch. VI).



Ānāpānapabbaṃ pana paṭikkūlamanasikārapabbañca imānevettha dve samādhivasena vuttāni.

其次就(一)安般节与(四)厌恶作意节的二种定来说。

Ñ: So there are only the two, that is, the sections on breathing and on directing attention to repulsiveness, that, as stated there, deal with concentration.



Tesu ānāpānapabbaṃ ānāpānassativasena visuṃ kammaṭṭhānaṃyeva.

然而这两种之中的安般节则另有念安般单独的业处说明。

Ñ: Of these two, the section on breathing is a separate meditation subject, namely, mindfulness of breathing.
