Dasame kusītavatthūnīti kusītassa alasassa vatthūni patiṭṭhā, kosajjakāraṇānīti attho. Kammaṃ kattabbaṃ hotīti cīvaravicāraṇādikammaṃ kattabbaṃ hoti. Na vīriyaṃ ārabhatīti duvidhampi vīriyaṃ nārabhati. Appattassāti jhānavipassanāmaggaphaladhammassa appattassa pattiyā. Anadhigatassāti tasseva anadhigatassa adhigamatthāya. Asacchikatassāti tadeva asacchikatassa sacchikaraṇatthāya. Idaṃ paṭhamanti idaṃ ‘‘handāhaṃ nipajjāmī’’ti evaṃ osīdanaṃ paṭhamaṃ kusītavatthu. Iminā nayena sabbattha attho veditabbo. Māsācitakaṃ maññeti ettha pana māsācitaṃ nāma tintamāso. Yathā tintamāso garuko hoti, evaṃ garukoti adhippāyo. Gilānā vuṭṭhito hotīti gilāno hutvā pacchā vuṭṭhito hoti. Ārambhavatthūnīti vīriyakāraṇāni. Tesampi imināva nayena attho veditabbo. Sesaṃ sabbattha uttānamevāti.

In the tenth: ‘grounds for laziness’: grounds, foundations of a lazy, indolent person; the meaning is reasons for indolence. ‘Work must be done’: work such as inspecting robes must be done. ‘He does not arouse energy’: he does not arouse either of the two kinds of energy. ‘Of what is not attained’: for the attainment of the dhammas of absorption, insight, path, and fruition that have not been attained. ‘Of what is not reached’: for the purpose of the reaching of that very thing which has not been reached. ‘Of what is not realized’: for the realization of that very thing which has not been realized. ‘This is the first’: this sinking down in this way—‘Well, let me lie down’—is the first ground for laziness. In this manner, the meaning should be understood everywhere. ‘Like a bag of beans, I think’: here, ‘a bag of beans’ means soaked beans. The intention is: just as soaked beans are heavy, so it is heavy. ‘Has recovered from illness’: having been ill, he has later recovered. ‘Grounds for arousal’: causes for energy. Their meaning too should be understood in this very manner. The rest is plain in meaning everywhere.
