Visuddhimagga XIII-57

Ayaṃ pana viseso,

其不同之处如下：

Ñ(XIII,57): There is this difference, however.

yathā tattha dutiyasūriyo,

如前面的起了第二太阳之时，

Ñ: While in the former case a second sun appeared,

evamidha kappavināsako khārudakamahāmegho vuṭṭhāti.

但这里则为起了劫灭的碱质性的水的大云。

Ñ: in this case a great cloud of caustic waters appears.

So ādito sukhumaṃ sukhumaṃ vassanto anukkamena mahādhārāhi koṭisatasahassacakkavāḷānaṃ pūrento vassati.

它初下细雨，渐次的下了大水流，充满了整个的百千俱胝的轮围界。

Ñ: At first it rains very gently, but it goes on to rain with gradually greater deluges, pouring down upon the hundred thousand million world-spheres.

Khārudakena phuṭṭhaphuṭṭhā pathavīpabbatādayo vilīyanti,

给那碱质性的水所触的大地山岳等都溶解掉。

Ñ: As soon as they are touched by me caustic waters, the earth, the mountains, etc., melt away,

udakaṃ samantato vātehi dhāriyati.

那水的各方面是由风支持的。

Ñ: and the waters are supported all round by winds.

Pathavito yāva dutiyajjhānabhūmiṃ udakaṃ gaṇhāti.

从大地起而至第二禅地都给水所淹没。

Ñ: The waters take possession from the earth up to the plane of the second jhāna.

Tattha tayopi brahmaloke vilīyāpetvā subhakiṇhe āhacca tiṭṭhati.

那（第二禅的少光、无量光、光音的）三梵界亦被溶解，直至遍净天为止。

Ñ: When they have dissolved away the three Brahmā-worlds there, they stop at the Subhakiṇha-world.

Taṃ yāva aṇumattampi saṅkhāragataṃ atthi, tāva na vūpasammati.

如果尚有最微细的物质存在，那水即不停止，

Ñ: As long as any formed thing the size of an atom exists they do not subside;

Udakānugataṃ pana sabbasaṅkhāragataṃ abhibhavitvā sahasā vūpasammati antaradhānaṃ gacchati.

要把一切的物质完全消灭了以后，此水才停止而散失。

Ñ: but they suddenly subside and vanish away when all formed things have been overwhelmed by them.

Heṭṭhāākāsena saha upariākāso eko hoti mahandhakāroti sabbaṃ vuttasadisaṃ.

这时下面的虚空和上面的虚空同成一大黑暗，余者皆如前述。

Ñ: All beginning with 'The upper space is all one with the lower space in a vast gloomy darkness … ' (§42) is as already described,

Kevalaṃ panidha ābhassarabrahmalokaṃ ādiṃ katvā loko pātubhavati.

但这里是以（第二禅的）光音梵天界为最初出现的世界。

Ñ: except that here the world begins its reappearance with the Ābhassara Brahmā-world.

Subhakiṇhato ca cavitvā ābhassaraṭṭhānādīsu sattā nibbattanti.

从遍净天死了的有情来生于光音天等处。

Ñ: And beings falling from the Subhakiṇha Brahmā-world are reborn in the places beginning with the Ābhassara Brahmā-world.
