Tattha iminā ādikammikena kulaputtena paṭhamaṃ gaṇanāya idaṃ kammaṭṭhānaṃ manasi kātabbaṃ.
（1）（数）于此（作意的规定）中初学的善男子第一以数于此（安般念）业处而作意。
Ñ(VIII,190): 1. Herein, this clansman who is a beginner should first give attention to this meditation subject by counting.
Gaṇentena ca pañcannaṃ heṭṭhā na ṭhapetabbaṃ.
数（出入息）时不宜止于五以下，
Ñ: And when counting, he should not stop short of five
Dasannaṃ upari na netabbaṃ.
不取至十以上，
Ñ: or go beyond ten
Antarā khaṇḍaṃ na dassetabbaṃ.
中间亦不应脱数。
Ñ: or make any break in the series.
Pañcannaṃ heṭṭhā ṭhapentassa hi sambādhe okāse cittuppādo vipphandati sambādhe vaje sanniruddhagogaṇo viya.
因为如止在五以下，则在迫窄的空间内未免心生苦恼，犹如彼押在迫窄的牛舍之内的牛群相似。
Ñ: By stopping short of five his thoughts get excited in the cramped space, like a herd of cattle shut in a cramped pen.
Dasannampi upari nentassa gaṇananissitako cittuppādo hoti.
若超过十数以上，则心生起仅依止于数（仅取出入息的数目作意）。
Ñ: By going beyond ten his thoughts take the number [rather than the breaths] for their support.
Antarā khaṇḍaṃ dassentassa ‘‘sikhāppattaṃ nu kho me kammaṭṭhānaṃ, no’’ti cittaṃ vikampati.
若中间脱数，则发生「我是否已达业处的顶点」而紊乱其心。
Ñ: By making a break in the series he wonders if the meditation subject has reached completion or not.
Tasmā ete dose vajjetvā gaṇetabbaṃ.
所以应该避去这些过失而数（出入息）。
Ñ: So he should do his counting without those faults.
