Visuddhimagga XIII-118

Taṃ suṭṭhu vuttaṃ.

这是善说。

Ñ(XIII,118): That is rightly said.

Tatrāyaṃ dīpanā, iddhimā parassa cittaṃ jānitukāmo āvajjati,

那里的说明如下：「神变者欲知他人的心而忆念，

Ñ: Here is the illustration. The possessor of supernormal power who wants to know another's mind adverts.

āvajjanaṃ khaṇapaccuppannaṃ ārammaṇaṃ katvā teneva saha nirujjhati.

以那转向的剎那现在心为所缘之后，并且同灭了。

Ñ: The adverting [consciousness] makes [the other's consciousness that is] present by moment its object and ceases together with it.

Tato cattāri pañca vā javanāni.

自此起了四或五的速行心。

Ñ: After that there are four or five impulsions,

Yesaṃ pacchimaṃ iddhicittaṃ,

这最后的速行是神变心，

Ñ: of which the last is the supernormal-power consciousness,

sesāni kāmāvacarāni,

其它的三或四的速行是欲界心。

Ñ: the rest being of the sense sphere.

tesaṃ sabbesampi tadeva niruddhaṃ cittamārammaṇaṃ hoti,

那一切（的速行心），都是以那灭了的（转向）心为所缘，

Ñ: That same [other's] consciousness, which has ceased, is the object of all these too,

na ca tāni nānārammaṇāni honti,

没有各别的所缘，

Ñ: and so they do not have different objects

addhāvasena paccuppannārammaṇattā.

是依一期为现在所缘之故。

Ñ: because they have an object that is 'present by extent'.

Ekārammaṇattepi ca iddhicittameva parassa cittaṃ jānāti, na itarāni.

虽然于同一所缘，但只有神变心而知他人的心，不是别的心（转向心及欲界的速行心等），

Ñ: And while they have a single object it is only the supernormal-power consciousness that actually knows another's consciousness, not the others,

Yathā cakkhudvāre cakkhuviññāṇameva rūpaṃ passati, na itarānīti.

正如于眼门，只有眼识而见色，并非其它」。

Ñ: just as in the eye-door it is only eye-consciousness that actually sees the visible datum, not the others.
