Visuddhimagga IX-82

Aṅguttaraṭṭhakathāyaṃ pana paṭhamaṃ veripuggalo karuṇāyitabbo, tasmiṃ cittaṃ muduṃ katvā duggato, tato piyapuggalo, tato attāti ayaṃ kamo vutto, so ‘‘duggataṃ durūpeta’’nti pāḷiyā na sameti, tasmā vuttanayenevettha bhāvanamārabhitvā sīmāsambhedaṃ katvā appanā vaḍḍhetabbā.

然而增支部的义疏说，最初当悲悯敌人，对敌人而令其心柔软之后，再悲悯逆境者、爱者以及自己，这才是顺序。可是这种顺序是不合于（前面所引《分别论》中）「逆境恶运」的圣典之文的，所以这里只应依前述的次序开始修习，破坏其界限，增长安止定。

Ñ(IX,82): But the order given in the Aṅguttara Commentary is that a hostile person should first be made the object of compassion, and when the mind has been made malleable with respect to him, next the unlucky person, next the dear person, and next oneself. That does not agree with the text, 'an unlucky, unfortunate person' (§78). Therefore he should begin the development, break down the barriers, and increase absorption only in the way stated here.
