Visuddhimagga XI-43

Atha vā pana ye ime catunnaṃ mahābhūtānaṃ nissattabhāvadassanatthaṃ dhammasenāpatinā ‘‘aṭṭhiñca paṭicca nhāruñca paṭicca maṃsañca paṭicca cammañca paṭicca ākāso parivārito rūpantveva saṅkhaṃ gacchatī’’ti (ma. ni. 1.306) cattāro koṭṭhāsā vuttā.

(利慧者的修法之二)或者为示四大种而非有情,如法将(舍利弗)所说的四部分「因骨因腱因肉因皮包围空间而称为色」。

Ñ(XI,43): Or alternatively, there are these four [bodily] parts mentioned by the General of the Dhamma [the Elder Sāriputta] for the purpose of showing the absence of any living being in the four great primary elements thus: 'When a space is enclosed with bones and sinews and flesh and skin, there comes to be the term "material form" (rūpa)' (M.i,190).



Tesu taṃ taṃ antarānusārinā ñāṇahatthena vinibbhujitvā vinibbhujitvā yo etesu thaddhabhāvo vā kharabhāvo vā, ayaṃ pathavīdhātūti purimanayeneva dhātuyo pariggahetvā punappunaṃ pathavīdhātu āpodhātūti dhātumattato nissattato nijjīvato āvajjitabbaṃ manasikātabbaṃ paccavekkhitabbaṃ.

于它们(四部分)之间,用智手来一一分别。以前面「坚性或固性的是地」等的同样方法而取了诸界,当数数地念虑作意及观察「地界、水界」的仅是界而非有情非寿者的身

Ñ: And he should resolve each of these [as a separate entity], separating them out by the hand of knowledge, and then discern them in the way already stated thus: 'In these what is stiffenedness or harshness is the earth element'. And he should again and again advert to them, give attention to them and review them as mere elements, not a living being, not a soul.
