37.74

Regarding the commentary's phrase "These four use each succeeding one to explain each preceding one": this also resolves objections in sequence. That is, someone objects: "Why, when the task was finished, did he enter samādhi to receive the Buddha's empowerment?" Now that he has already obtained superior power, it was therefore deemed that the task was finished. One might ask again: "Although he obtained superior power, why not remain in samādhi for a while?" The answer is: "Because the time to preach the Dharma had arrived." Next one asks: "Why not preach from within samādhi?" The answer is: "Because within samādhi there is no verbal expression."
