Visuddhimagga XIV-153

474. Tesu dhammesu majjhattatā tatramajjhattatā. Sā cittacetasikānaṃ samavāhitalakkhaṇā, ūnādhikatānivāraṇarasā, pakkhapātupacchedanarasā vā, majjhattabhāvapaccupaṭṭhānā, cittacetasikānaṃ ajjhupekkhanabhāvena samappavattānaṃ ājānīyānaṃ ajjhupekkhakasārathi viya daṭṭhabbā.
31)「中舍性」──是对于诸(心、心所)法抱中立的态度。它有心与心所平衡的特相;有遮止太过与不足的作用,[PTS 467] 或有断绝偏向的作用;以中庸的状态为现状。关于它的舍置心与心所的状态,正如御者的舍置平等牵驾的良马相似。
Ñ(XIV,153) (xxxi) Specific neutrality (tatra-majjhattatā—lit 'neutrality in regard thereto') is neutrality (majjhattatā) in regard to those states [of consciousness and consciousness-concomitants arisen in association with it]. It has the characteristic of conveying consciousness and consciousness-concomitants evenly. Its function is to prevent deficiency and excess, [467] or its function is to inhibit partiality. It is manifested as neutrality. It should be regarded as like a conductor (driver) who looks with equanimity on thoroughbreds progressing evenly.
