提要
佛陀的一切教说中，「四谛说」是至为核心的教义。在统贯佛陀教说的佛教典籍——阿
毗达磨中，深通经义的祖师们如何疏解四谛，是非常值得研究的主题。本文选定巴利论
书《分别论》（Vibhaṅga）的第四品〈谛分别〉（Saccavibhaṅga）为译
注主体，主要基于两点理由∶一、南传论书的研究在国内仍处于摇篮阶段，有待研究者
的投入。二、《分别论》依十八个主题来论究法义，每个主题可独立探讨，四谛即为其
中的一个主题。目前国内虽已有《分别论》的汉译，唯系转译自日文《南传大藏经》，
文辞艰涩，又少附注说明，不对照巴利原本则难理解，有重加翻译的必要。因篇幅的限
制，本文的译注仅包括〈谛分别〉中的「经分别」。
初期佛教的圣典，包括了经（sutta）、律（vinaya）、论（abhidhamma）三藏。经藏
集结佛陀教说的要义，不同部派各有其编纂的经藏，现存且完整者有南传上座部（

特別感謝葛印卡的努力不懈，使烏巴慶的方法無論是在美國般的富裕社會或在印度的貧

這樣的成就說明了此方法有可能開展解脫洞見，然而我們對於這個禪修方法的根源卻所

周一良
(一)
我国自来称印度文为梵文。因为印度人相传，他们的文字是梵天（Brahma）所制（《西域
记》卷二）。但在印度本土，普通却不叫梵文。只有大史诗《Mahabharata》里，曾称梵
文为brahmi vac，意思是神圣的语言，仅仅当作一种别名或美称而已。那么，印度人称他
们的文字叫什么呢？他们称为Sanskrit。这字的原义有文饰、修整、精制一类的意思。顾
名思义，我们不由得想到中国的‘文言’。梵文在印度的地位，确和中国的文言文体很相
像。Sanskrit这字最早见于《梨俱吠陀》──印度最古的文献。这部书的文体就是一种古
梵文。吠陀是婆罗门教的圣典，同时也只有四种姓里最上层的婆罗门才有资格学习。大约
从很古的时期，梵文已经是上层种姓专有的语言了。以后注释吠陀的书，也都是用梵文。
到了西元前五世纪，波腻你（Panini）作了一部梵文文法，奠定了梵文文法的基础。直到
现在两千多年来，写梵文都要受《波腻你文法》的约束。也就是因为大家都遵守他的轨则
，两千多年来梵文竟没什么大变化。中国虽没有波腻你的文法，因为作文章的文要摹古，

【梵语概说】
A Short Introduction to Sanskrit
梵语是古代印度的标准书面语。原是西北印度上流知识阶级的语言，相对于一般民间所使
用的俗语（Prakrit）而言，又称为雅语。我国及日本依此语为梵天（印度教的主神之一
）所造的传说，而称其为梵语。其名称本为sanskrit，源自samskrta，字面意思为“完全
整理好的”，也即整理完好的语言。

我国自来称印度文为梵文。因为印度人相传，他们的文字是梵天（Brahma）所制（《西域
记》卷二）。但在印度本土，普通却不叫梵文。只有大史诗《Mahabharata》里，曾称梵
文为brahmi vac，意思是神圣的语言，仅仅当作一种别名或美称而已。那么，印度人称他
们的文字叫什么呢？他们称为Sanskrit。这字的原义有文饰、修整、精制一类的意思。顾
名思义，我们不由得想到中国的‘文言’。梵文在印度的地位，确和中国的文言文体很相
像。Sanskrit这字最早见于《梨俱吠陀》──印度最古的文献。这部书的文体就是一种古
梵文。吠陀是婆罗门教的圣典，同时也只有四种姓里最上层的婆罗门才有资格学习。大约
从很古的时期，梵文已经是上层种姓专有的语言了。以后注释吠陀的书，也都是用梵文。
到了西元前五世纪，波腻你（Panini）作了一部梵文文法，奠定了梵文文法的基础。直到
现在两千多年来，写梵文都要受《波腻你文法》的约束。也就是因为大家都遵守他的轨则
，两千多年来梵文竟没什么大变化。中国虽没有波腻你的文法，因为作文章的文要摹古，
于是乎无形之中文言和白话分了家。文言 |
