Idha bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī viharati,
Here a monk dwells contemplating (the nature of) the body in the body,

Idha bhikkhu yasmiṁ samaye lokuttaraṁ jhānaṁ bhāveti,
Here a monk, at whatever time, develops the supermundane absorption,

to abandonment of wrong views, to the attainment of the first ground,
vivicceva kāmehi, vivicca akusalehi dhammehi,
(where) quite secluded from sense desires, secluded from unwholesome things,
