At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Bhikkhū, there are these four meditators.

“Cattārome, bhikkhave, jhāyī.

What four?

Katame cattāro?

One meditator is skilled in entering samādhi but not in remaining in it. …”

Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco jhāyī samādhismiṁ samāpattikusalo hoti, na samādhismiṁ ṭhitikusalo.

Idha pana, bhikkhave, ekacco jhāyī samādhismiṁ ṭhitikusalo hoti, na samādhismiṁ samāpattikusalo.

Idha pana, bhikkhave, ekacco jhāyī neva samādhismiṁ samāpattikusalo hoti, na ca samādhismiṁ ṭhitikusalo.

Idha pana, bhikkhave, ekacco jhāyī samādhismiṁ samāpattikusalo ca hoti, samādhismiṁ ṭhitikusalo ca.

Tatra, bhikkhave, yvāyaṁ jhāyī samādhismiṁ samāpattikusalo ca hoti, samādhismiṁ ṭhitikusalo ca ayaṁ imesaṁ catunnaṁ jhāyīnaṁ aggo ca seṭṭho ca mokkho ca uttamo ca pavaro ca.

Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, gavā khīraṁ …pe…

pavaro cā”ti.
