311. Ime kesā nāma sīsakaṭāhapaliveṭhanacamme jātā.

①（地界二十部分的作意）（1）「发」──生于封盖头颅的皮肤上。

Ñ(XI,48): These things called head hairs grow on the inner skin that envelops the skull.

Tattha yathāvammikamatthake jātesu kuṇṭhatiṇesu na vammikamatthako jānāti mayi kuṇṭhatiṇāni jātānīti,

譬如「公多草」(kuṇṭhatiṇa)长于蚁塔的顶上，蚁塔的顶不知道：「公多草生于我上」，

Ñ: Herein, just as when kuṇṭha grasses grow on the top of an ant-hill, the top of the ant-hill does not know ''Kuṇṭha grasses are growing on me',

napi kuṇṭhatiṇāni jānanti mayaṃ vammikamatthake jātānīti,

公多草亦不知道：「我生于蚁塔的顶上」，

Ñ: nor do the kuṇṭha grasses know 'We are growing on the top of an ant-hill',

evameva na sīsakaṭāhapaliveṭhanacammaṃ jānāti mayi kesā jātāti,

同样的，封盖头颅的皮肤不知道：「发生于我上」，

Ñ: so too, the inner skin that covers the skull does not know 'Head hairs grow on me',

napi kesā jānanti mayaṃ sīsakaṭāhaveṭhanacamme jātāti,

发亦不知：「我生于封盖头颅的皮肤上」。

Ñ: nor do the head hairs know 'We grow on inner skin that envelops a skull'.

aññamaññaṃ ābhogapaccavekkhaṇarahitā ete dhammā.

因此两者没有互相思念与观察。

Ñ: These things are devoid of mutual concern and reviewing.

Iti kesā nāma imasmiṃ sarīre pāṭiyekko koṭṭhāso acetano abyākato suñño nissatto thaddho pathavīdhātūti.

此发在此身上是单独部分，无思，无记，空，非有情，坚固的地界。

Ñ: So what are called head hairs are a particular component of this body, without thought, [morally] indeterminate, void, not a living being, rigid (stiffened) earth element.
