2.94

Exposition: "Form" refers to the form realm. The stages of the four dhyānas are as explained before. What is called "meditative concentration" is one-pointedness of mind. The "karmas generated" are briefly of three kinds: first, vitarka and vicāra, meaning the first dhyāna has both vitarka and vicāra; the intermediate dhyāna has no vitarka and only vicāra; the upper three dhyānas have neither vitarka nor vicāra. The pure concentrations associated with these three kinds are motionless karma, being capable of producing birth there. Next is the third: clarifying the karma of the formless realm.
