Visuddhimagga XI-29

Tassattho – yathā cheko goghātako vā tasseva vā bhattavetanabhato antevāsiko gāviṃ vadhitvā vinivijjhitvā catasso disā gatānaṃ mahāpathānaṃ vemajjhaṭṭhānasaṅkhāte catumahāpathe koṭṭhāsaṃ katvā nisinno assa,

此文的全意如下：譬如善巧的屠牛者或帮他工作的弟子，杀了牛，分剖之后，坐于称为通达四方的大路的中心处的四衢大道，把它的肉割截成一片一片。

Ñ(XI,29): The meaning is this: just as though a clever butcher, or his apprentice who worked for his keep, had killed a cow and divided it up and were seated at the cross-roads, reckoned as the intersection of the main roads going in the four directions, having laid it out part by part,

evameva bhikkhu catunnaṃ iriyāpathānaṃ yena kenaci ākārena ṭhitattā yathāṭhitaṃ. Yathāṭhitattāva yathāpaṇihitaṃ kāyaṃ atthi imasmiṃ kāye pathavīdhātu…pe… vāyodhātūti evaṃ dhātuso paccavekkhati.

同样的，比丘观此依四威仪的任何行相而住为「如其所处」，或因如其所处即为「如其所置」的身，依界而如是观察：「于此身中有地界乃至风界」。

Ñ: so too a bhikkhu reviews the body, however placed because it is in some one of the four postures and however disposed because it is so placed, thus: In this body there are the earth element, the water element, the fire element, and the air element.
