Piṇḍapātiko viya yogāvacaro.

瑜伽行者如乞食者。

Ñ: The meditator is like the alms-food eater.

Tassa taṃ gāmaṃ upanissāya vāso viya yogino dvattiṃsākāre parikammakaraṇaṃ.

瑜伽者于三十二种（部分）遍作（准备定）如彼（乞食者）的住于村落的附近。

Ñ: The meditator's preliminary work is like the alms-food eater's going to live near the village.

Paṭhamagehe dve bhikkhā labhitvā parato ekissā vissajjanaṃ viya dutiyadivase tisso labhitvā parato dvinnaṃ vissajjanaṃ viya ca manasikaroto manasikaroto anupaṭṭhahante vissajjetvā upaṭṭhitesu yāva koṭṭhāsadvaye parikammakaraṇaṃ.

数数作意，舍弃其未现起的（部分）于各各现起的（部分）中，及于二部分中（现起较好的）遍作，如于第一家获得了二（家）分的饮食，便超越了其它的一家，第二天（于第一家）获得三分，便超越了其它的两家。

Ñ: The meditator's continuing to give attention after leaving out those parts that do not appear and doing his preliminary work on the pair of parts that do appear is like the alms-food eater's getting two lots of alms at the first house and leaving out one [house] beyond it, and like his next day getting three [lots of alms at the first house] and leaving out two [houses] beyond it.

Tatiyadivase ādimhiyeva pattapūraṃ labhitvā āsanasālāyaṃ nisīditvā paribhogo viya dvīsu yo suṭṭhutaraṃ upaṭṭhāti, tameva punappunaṃ manasikaritvā appanāya uppādanaṃ.

于彼二（部分）中的现起较好的，数数作意而生起安止，如第三天于最初（之家）获得了满钵，便回至坐堂（住坐所）坐而食之。

Ñ: The arousing of absorption by giving attention again and again to that which has appeared the more clearly of two is like the alms-food eater's getting his bowl full at the first [house] on the third day and then going to the sitting hall and eating.
