51. Here the Sanskrit reads iha bhikṣavo bhikṣur araṇyagato vā vṛkṣa­mūla­gato vā śūnyāgāra­gato vā imam eva kāyam ūrdvaṁ yāvat pādatalād adhaḥ keśamastakāt tvakparyantaṁ yathāvasthitaṁ yathāpraṇihitaṁ pūrṇaṁ nānāprakārasyāśucer yathābhūtaṁ samyak prajñayā pratyavekṣate (Samtani 1971, p. 23): “Here, monks, a monk, having gone to the forest, or to the root of some tree, or to an empty house, observes with right wisdom this very body, up from the soles of the feet and down from the hairy head, enclosed in skin, just as it is disposed and placed, full of many types of impurities, as it is.” The Tibetan has some small differences; it could be back-translated as *tatra katamā samādhibhāvanā āsevitā bhāvitā bahulīkṛtā kāmarāgaprahāṇāya saṃvartate iha bhikṣavo bhikṣur imam eva kāyam ūrdhvaṃ pādatalād adhaḥ keśamastakāt paryantaṃ pūrṇaṃ nānāprakārasyāśucer yathābhūtaṃ pratyavekṣate.
