Visuddhimagga VIII-177

Seyyathāpi purisassa dhāvitvā, pabbatā vā orohitvā, mahābhāraṃ vā sīsato oropetvā ṭhitassa oḷārikā assāsapassāsā honti,

譬如有人从山上跑下，或将重负从头上卸下而立时，他的出入息是粗的，

Ñ(VIII,177): Suppose a man stands still after running, or descending from a hill, or putting down a big load from his head, then his in-breaths and out-breaths are gross,

nāsikā nappahoti,

甚至不能以鼻（出入息），

Ñ: his nostrils become inadequate,

mukhena assasantopi passasantopi tiṭṭhati.

要用口出息入息。

Ñ: and he keeps on breathing in and out through his mouth.

Yadā panesa taṃ parissamaṃ vinodetvā nhatvā ca pivitvā ca allasāṭakaṃ hadaye katvā sītāya chāyāya nipanno hoti,

如果他除去疲劳，洗了澡，喝了水，[PTS 275] 以湿布当胸，卧于凉荫之下时，

Ñ: But when he has rid himself of his fatigue and has bathed and drunk [275] and put a wet cloth on his heart, and is lying in the cool shade,

athassa te assāsapassāsā sukhumā honti ‘‘atthi nu kho natthī’’ti vicetabbatākārappattā,

则他的出息入息很微细，到了有无（出入息）亦难辨别的状态。

Ñ: then his in-breaths and out-breaths eventually occur so subtly that he has to investigate whether they exist or not;

evameva imassa bhikkhuno pubbe apariggahitakāle kāyo ca…pe… vicetabbatākārappattā honti.

同样的，这比丘以前未修出入息之时••••••乃至难辨的状态。

Ñ: so too, previously, at the time when the bhikkhu has still not discerned, … he has to investigate whether they exist or not.
