此中:(7)「心止」只是维持心的静止的弱定。(11)不能治愈其心故为「疑」。它有怀疑的特相;有动摇的作用;以不决定或无决定见为现状;由疑而起不如理的作意为近因。当知疑是行道的障碍。
Ñ(XIV,177): Herein, (xlix) steadiness of consciousness is weak concentration (viii) consisting in mere steadiness in occurrence. (l) It is without wish to cure (vigatā cikicchā), thus it is uncertainty (vicikicchā). It has the characteristic of doubt. Its function is to waver. It is manifested as indecisiveness, or it is manifested as taking various sides. Its proximate cause is unwise attention. It should be regarded as obstructive of theory (see Ch. XVII, §52). The rest are as already described.
