Visuddhimagga X-41

Tassevaṃ tasmiṃ nimitte punappunaṃ mānasaṃ cārentassa nīvaraṇāni vikkhambhanti,

他这样的数数用意于那（无所有处定的）相中，镇伏了五盖，

Ñ(X,41): As he directs his mind again and again on to that sign in this way, the hindrances are suppressed,

sati santiṭṭhati,

安立于念，

Ñ: mindfulness is established,

upacārena cittaṃ samādhiyati.

以近行定等持其心，

Ñ: and his mind becomes concentrated in access.

So taṃ nimittaṃ punappunaṃ āsevati, bhāveti, bahulīkaroti.

他于此相数数修习多作。

Ñ: He cultivates that sign again and again, develops and repeatedly practises it.

Tassevaṃ karoto viññāṇāpagame ākiñcaññāyatanaṃ viya ākiñcaññāyatanasamāpattisaṅkhātesu catūsu khandhesu nevasaññānāsaññāyatanacittaṃ appeti.

当他如是行时，便得安止他的非想非非想处心于那称为四蕴的无所有处定，如对识的离去而安止无所有处心相似。

Ñ: As he does so, consciousness belonging to the base consisting of neither perception nor non-perception arises in absorption, making its object the four [mental] aggregates that constitute the attainment of the base consisting of nothingness, just as the [consciousness belonging to the] base consisting of nothingness did the disappearance of the [previous] consciousness.

Appanānayo panettha vuttanayeneva veditabbo.

至于安止的方法当知已如前说。

Ñ: And here too the method of explaining the absorption should be understood in the way already described.
