शुचौ देशे प्रतिष्ठाप्य स्थिरमासनमात्मनः | नात्युच्छ्रितं नातिनीचं चैलाजिनकुशोत्तरम्
śucau deśe pratiṣṭhāpya sthiramāsanamātmanaḥ . nātyucchritaṃ nātinīcaṃ cailājinakuśottaram
在洁净之处，安设自己的稳固坐垫，不高不低，由布、兽皮和库沙草依次铺设，一层叠一层；
Having firmly established in a clean place his seat, neither too high nor too low, and made of cloth, skin and kusa-grass, placed successively one below the other;
在此节中，主描述了修习冥想的外部坐垫。首先在地上铺设库沙草，其上铺虎皮或鹿皮，再其上铺白布。应选择自然洁净之地，如河岸，或将任何修习冥想之处打扫洁净。
In this verse the Lord has prescribed the external seat for practising meditation. Details of the pose are given in verse 13.Spread the Kusagrass on the ground first. Over this spread a tigerskin or deerskin over this spread a white cloth.Sit on a naturally clean spot? such as the bank of a river. Or? make the place clean? wherever you want to practise meditation.
