四、熏禪。「師子奮迅」者,借譬以顯法也。如世師子奮迅,為二事故,一為奮却塵土、二能前走捷疾異於諸獸。此三昧亦爾,一則奮除細微無知之惑、二能入出捷疾無間異上所得禪定,故名師子奮迅三昧。

Fourth, the perfumed dhyānas. Regarding "the lion's sport" (*siṃhavikrīḍita*): a metaphor is borrowed to reveal the dharma. Just as a lion in the world sports for two purposes—first, to shake off dust and dirt; second, to sprint forward swiftly, differing from other beasts—this samādhi is likewise: first, it shakes off and eliminates the subtle delusions of ignorance; second, it can enter and exit swiftly without interval, differing from the dhyāna concentrations attained above; hence it is named the lion's sport samādhi.
