Visuddhimagga XI-16

So evaṃ vicuṇṇitamakkhito taṅkhaṇaññeva antarahitavaṇṇagandhasaṅkhāraviseso suvānadoṇiyaṃ ṭhitasuvānavamathu viya paramajegucchabhāvaṃ upagacchati.

到了这一剎那,那嚼碎及混杂而失去了色香之美的食物,实已到达了最厌恶的状态,正如狗子吐泻在狗盂中的东西相似。

Ñ(XI,16): When thus mashed up and besmeared, this peculiar compound now destitute of the [original] colour and smell is reduced to a condition as utterly nauseating as a dog's vomit in a dog's trough.



Evarūpopi samāno cakkhussa āpāthaṃ atītattā ajjhoharitabbo hotīti evaṃ paribhogato paṭikkūlatā paccavekkhitabbā.

像这样的状态,因眼睛没有看见,所以吞下去了。应依这样的受用而观食的厌恶。

Ñ: Yet, notwithstanding that it is like this, it can still be swallowed because it is no longer in range of the eye's focus. This is how repulsiveness should be reviewed as to using.
