"Good Constellation" (Śanikṣatra) is the name of an asterism. The twenty-eight lunar mansions all pertain to the five planets, and what the five planets correspond to extends even to the five aggregates. If spoken of in terms of principle, he attains the Sun-Star Constellation Samādhi, taking his name from this. As for "this is movement and this is ideation", the arising and ceasing of objects is called movement, and the mind coming to contemplate objects is called ideation; these are the two extremes, and therefore there is discrimination. Now, realizing that the nature of objects is devoid of movement and realizing that the nature of the mind is devoid of ideation—since one knows that the mind is without ideation, objects are also without movement: this is entering the Dharma door of nonduality.
