3.116

禪波羅蜜滿者,菩薩具足禪定,於外道禪定,出入自在,如尚闍梨仙人坐禪時,無出入息,鳥於髻上生子,慈悲不動,乃至鳥子飛出,是名禪滿。

The fulfillment of the pāramitā of meditation (dhyāna) is when a bodhisattva is fully equipped with meditative absorption and enters and exits the meditative absorptions of non-Buddhists with sovereignty—just as when the ṛṣi Śaṅkhācārya was sitting in meditation, having neither in-breath nor out-breath, a bird laid eggs and hatched fledglings in his topknot, yet out of compassion he remained motionless until the fledglings flew away; this is called the fulfillment of meditation.
