Visuddhimagga X-9

So taṃ kasiṇugghāṭimākāsanimittaṃ ‘‘ākāso ākāso’’ti punappunaṃ āvajjeti, takkāhataṃ vitakkāhataṃ karoti.

他对那除去遍的虚空之相作「虚空！虚空！」的数数念虑思惟。

Ñ(X,9): He adverts again and again to the sign of the space left by the removal of the kasiṇa [328] as 'space, space', and he strikes at it with thought and applied thought.

Tassevaṃ punappunaṃ āvajjayato takkāhataṃ vitakkāhataṃ karoto nīvaraṇāni vikkhambhanti,

由于他这样数数念虑思惟，镇伏他的五盖，

Ñ: As he adverts to it again and again and strikes at it with thought and applied thought, the hindrances are suppressed,

sati santiṭṭhati, upacārena cittaṃ samādhiyati.

住于念，以近行而等持其心。

Ñ: mindfulness is established and his mind becomes concentrated in access.

So taṃ nimittaṃ punappunaṃ āsevati, bhāveti, bahulīkaroti.

他于那（虚空）相数数修习而多作。

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