Yathā ahibhīruko puriso araññe sappena anubaddho vegena palāyitvā palātaṭṭhāne lekhācittaṃ tālapaṇṇaṃ vā valliṃ vā rajjuṃ vā phalitāya vā pana pathaviyā phalitantaraṃ disvā bhāyateva uttasateva, neva naṃ dakkhitukāmo hoti.
譬如一个怕蛇的人，在林中为蛇所追逐，急速而逃，但在其所逃之处看到（像蛇皮的）花纹的多罗叶或藤或绳或裂地的裂痕，亦生怖畏而颤栗，所以连那种（相像的东西）也不愿见(dakkhitukāmo)，
Ñ(X,3): Suppose a timid man is pursued by a snake in a forest and flees from it as fast as he can, then if he sees in the place he has fled to a palm leaf with a streak painted on it or a creeper or a rope or a crack in the ground, he is fearful, anxious and will not even look at it.
Yathā ca anatthakārinā veripurisena saddhiṃ ekagāme vasamāno puriso tena vadhabandhagehajhāpanādīhi upadduto aññaṃ gāmaṃ vasanatthāya gantvā tatrāpi verinā samānarūpasaddasamudācāraṃ purisaṃ disvā bhāyateva uttasateva, neva naṃ dakkhitukāmo hoti.
又譬如一位和加害他的敌人共住在一村的人，为敌人的杀缚与放火烧房等所恼乱，因此便去他村而住，但在那里看到（与敌）相似的面容、声音及行动的人，亦生恐怖的颤栗，所以也不愿见他。
Ñ: Suppose again a man is living in the same village as a hostile man who ill-uses him, and on being threatened by him with a flogging and the burning down of his house, he goes away to live in another village, then if he meets another man there of similar appearance, voice and manner, he is fearful, anxious and will not even look at him.
