Visuddhimagga XI-52

315. Taco sakalasarīraṃ pariyonandhitvā ṭhito.

（5）「皮」──包于全身。

Ñ(XI,52): Skin is to be found covering the whole body.

Tattha yathā allagocammapariyonaddhāya mahāvīṇāya na mahāvīṇā jānāti ahaṃ allagocammena pariyonaddhāti.

譬如湿的牛皮而包大琴，大琴不知道：「以湿的牛皮包住我」，

Ñ: Herein, just as, when a big lute is covered with damp ox-hide, the lute does not know 'I am covered with damp ox-hide',

Napi allagocammaṃ jānāti mayā mahāvīṇā pariyonaddhāti,

湿牛皮亦不知道：「我包住大琴」，

Ñ: nor does the damp ox-hide know 'A lute is covered by me',

evameva na sarīraṃ jānāti ahaṃ tacena pariyonaddhanti.

同样的，身不知道：「我为皮所包」，

Ñ: so too, the body does not know 'I am covered by skin',

Napi taco jānāti mayā sarīraṃ pariyonaddhanti.

皮亦不知：「身为我所包」，

Ñ: nor does the skin know 'A body is covered by me'.

Aññamaññaṃ ābhogapaccavekkhaṇarahitā ete dhammā.

因为这两者没有互相的思念和观察。

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

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

这皮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 is called skin is a particular component of this body, without thought, indeterminate, void, not a living being, rigid earth element.
