Visuddhimagga IV-184

88. Tattha sukhassa ca pahānā dukkhassa ca pahānāti kāyikasukhassa ca kāyikadukkhassa ca pahānā.

此中「由断乐及断苦故」，即断了身的乐及身的苦。

Ñ(IV,184): Herein, with the abandoning of pleasure and pain: with the abandoning of bodily pleasure and bodily pain.

Pubbevāti tañca kho pubbeva, na catutthajjhānakkhaṇe.

「先已」是在那以前已灭，不是在第四禅的剎那。

Ñ: With the previous: which took place before, not in the moment of the fourth jhāna.

Somanassadomanassānaṃ atthaṅgamāti cetasikasukhassa ca cetasikadukkhassa cāti imesampi dvinnaṃ pubbeva atthaṅgamā, pahānā icceva vuttaṃ hoti.

「灭喜忧故」即是指心的乐与心的苦二者先已灭故、断故而说的。

Ñ: Disappearance of joy and grief: with the previous disappearance of the two, that is, mental bliss (pleasure) and mental pain; with the abandoning, is what is meant.

Visuddhimagga IV-183

Ettāvatā cesa sukhassa ca pahānā dukkhassa ca pahānā pubbeva somanassadomanassānaṃ atthaṅgamā adukkhamasukhaṃ upekkhāsatipārisuddhiṃ catutthaṃ jhānaṃ upasampajja viharati (dī. ni. 1.232; dha. sa. 165).

上面的修行者，「由断乐及由断苦故，并先已灭喜忧故，不苦不乐故，舍念清净，第四禅具足住」。

[THE FOURTH JHĀNA]

Ñ(IV,183): And at this point, 'With the abandoning of pleasure and pain and with the previous disappearance of joy and grief he enters upon and dwells in the fourth jhāna, which has neither-pain-nor-pleasure and has purity of mindfulness due to equanimity' (Vbh. 245),

Sayādaw U Sīlānanda: The words 'the previous' means preliminary stages.

Evamanena ekaṅgavippahīnaṃ duvaṅgasamannāgataṃ tividhakalyāṇaṃ dasalakkhaṇasampannaṃ catutthaṃ jhānaṃ adhigataṃ hoti pathavīkasiṇaṃ.

如是一支舍断，二支具备，有三种善，十相成就，证得地遍的第四禅。

Ñ: and so he has attained the fourth jhāna, which abandons one factor, possesses two factors, is good in three ways, possesses ten characteristics, and is of the earth kasiṇa.
