Visuddhimagga XI-53

316. Maṃsaṃ aṭṭhisaṅghāṭaṃ anulimpitvā ṭhitaṃ.

（6）「肉」──附于骨聚上。

Ñ(XI,53): Flesh is to be found plastered over the framework of bones.

Tattha yathā mahāmattikalittāya bhittiyā na bhitti jānāti ahaṃ mahāmattikāya littāti.

譬如以厚厚的粘土涂于墙上，墙不知道：「我为粘土所涂」，

Ñ: Herein, just as, when a wall is plastered with thick clay, the wall does not know 'I am plastered with thick clay',

Napi mahāmattikā jānāti mayā bhitti littāti,

粘土亦不知道：「墙为我所涂」；

Ñ: nor does the thick clay know 'A wall is plastered with me',

evameva na aṭṭhisaṅghāṭo jānāti ahaṃ navapesisatappabhedena maṃsena littoti.

同样的，骨聚不知道：「我为几百片肉所涂」，

Ñ: so too, the framework of bones does not know 'I am plastered with flesh consisting of nine hundred pieces of flesh',

Napi maṃsaṃ jānāti mayā aṭṭhisaṅghāṭo littoti.

肉亦不知：「骨聚为我所涂」。

Ñ: nor does the flesh know 'A framework of bones is plastered with 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 maṃsaṃ nāma imasmiṃ sarīre pāṭiyekko koṭṭhāso acetano abyākato suñño nissatto thaddho pathavīdhātūti.

这肉在身上是单独部分，无思，无记，空，非有情，坚固的地界。

Ñ: So what is called flesh is a particular component of this body, without thought, indeterminate, void, not a living being, rigid earth element.
