one is on retreat in neither body nor mind; and one is on retreat in both body and mind. And how is an individual on retreat in body, but not mind? It’s when an individual frequents remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest.
PL
anikaṭṭhakāyo ca anikaṭṭhacitto ca, nikaṭṭhakāyo ca nikaṭṭhacitto ca. Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo nikaṭṭhakāyo hoti anikaṭṭhacitto? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo araññavanapatthāni pantāni senāsanāni paṭisevati.

But they think sensual, malicious, and cruel thoughts. That’s how an individual is on retreat in body, but not mind. And how is an individual on retreat in mind, but not body? It’s when an individual doesn’t frequent remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest.

So tattha kāmavitakkampi vitakketi byāpādavitakkampi vitakketi vihiṁsāvitakkampi vitakketi. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo nikaṭṭhakāyo hoti anikaṭṭhacitto.

But they think thoughts of renunciation, good will, and harmlessness. That’s how an individual is on retreat in mind, but not body. And how is an individual on retreat in neither body nor mind? It’s when an individual doesn’t frequent remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest.
PL
So tattha nekkhammavitakkampi vitakketi abyāpādavitakkampi vitakketi avihiṁsāvitakkampi vitakketi. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo anikaṭṭhakāyo hoti nikaṭṭhacitto.
