56. There are traditionally a set of ten objects of meditative immersion (Skt. kṛtsna; Pali kasiṇa; Tib. zad pa), but only nine are given here. Additionally, this list is somewhat at variance with other presentations by listing the elements based on their properties. Thus we have “solidity” instead of “earth,” “wetness” instead of “water,” “heat” instead of “fire,” and “movement” instead of “air.” The full set of ten objects of meditative immersion, using their more standard terminology, appears in this text at F.29.b.
