Visuddhimagga XIII-76

Cavamāne upapajjamāneti ettha cutikkhaṇe upapattikkhaṇe vā dibbacakkhunā daṭṭhuṃ na sakkā.

「死时生时」──那死的剎那和生的剎那是不可能以天眼见的，

Ñ(XIII,76): Passing away and reappearing: he cannot see them with the divine eye actually at the death moment of reappearance.

Ye pana āsannacutikā idāni cavissanti, te cavamānā.

这里是说那些临终即将死了的人为「死时」，

Ñ: But it is those who, being on the verge of death, will die now that are intended as 'passing away'

Ye ca gahitapaṭisandhikā sampatinibbattāva, te upapajjamānāti adhippetā.

那些已取结生而完成其生的人为「生时」的意义。

Ñ: and those who have taken rebirth-linking and have just reappeared that are intended by 'reappearing'.

Te evarūpe cavamāne ca upapajjamāne ca passatīti dasseti.

即指见这样的死时和生时的有情。

Ñ: What is pointed out is that he sees them as such passing away and reappearing.
