妙法蓮華經玄義 3.57

3.57

These are all praises explaining the meaning of the highest and wonderful, and there are also distinctions. In relation to impurity and ānāpāna, it is called the most; in relation to wisdom derived from hearing, it is called supreme; in relation to wisdom derived from reflection, it is called greatest; in relation to Heat, it is venerable; in relation to Summit, it is highest; in relation to Acceptance, it is wonderful. Furthermore, relying on the threshold stage, it is the most; relying on the first dhyāna, it is supreme; on the intermediate [dhyāna], it is greatest; on the second dhyāna, it is venerable; on the third dhyāna, it is highest; on the fourth dhyāna, it is wonderful. Such various explanations are based on the explanations of the *Vibhāṣā*; if one wishes to know in detail, seek it there.
