Visuddhimagga XI-61

323. Kilomakesu paṭicchannakilomakaṃ hadayañca vakkañca parivāretvā ṭhitaṃ.

（13）「肋膜」──覆蔽肋膜围于心脏及肾脏而住；

Ñ(XI,61): As to the midriff, the concealed midriff is to be found surrounding the heart and kidney,

Appaṭicchannakilomakaṃ sakalasarīre cammassa heṭṭhato maṃsaṃ pariyonandhitvā ṭhitaṃ.

不覆蔽肋膜则包于全身的皮肤之下的筋肉而住。

Ñ: while the unconcealed midriff is to be found covering the flesh under the skin in the whole body.

Tattha yathā pilotikapaliveṭhite maṃse na maṃsaṃ jānāti ahaṃ pilotikāya paliveṭhitanti.

譬如缠于绷带之内的肉，肉不知「我为绷带所缠」，

Ñ: Herein, just as, when meat is wrapped in a rag, the meat does not know 'I am wrapped in a rag',

Napi pilotikā jānāti mayā maṃsaṃ paliveṭhitanti,

绷带亦不知「以我缠肉」；

Ñ: nor does the rag know 'Meat is wrapped in me',

evameva na vakkahadayāni sakalasarīre ca maṃsaṃ jānāti ahaṃ kilomakena paṭicchannanti.

同样的，肾脏心脏及全身的肉不知道「我为肋膜所覆」，

Ñ: so too, the heart and kidney, and the flesh in the whole body, do not know 'I am concealed by midriff,

Napi kilomakaṃ jānāti mayā vakkahadayāni sakalasarīre ca maṃsaṃ paṭicchannanti.

肋膜亦不知「以我覆肾脏心脏及全身的肉」。

Ñ: nor does the midriff know 'Heart and kidney, and flesh in a whole body, are concealed by me'.

Aññamaññaṃ ābhogapaccavekkhaṇarahitā ete dhammā.

因为此等没有互相的思念和观察。

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

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

这肋膜在此身内是单独部分，无思，无记，空，非有情，坚固的地界。

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