Second, judging in terms of flavors. Regarding "clarifying the five flavors": Jingxi says that it temporarily borrows the five dhyānas to clarify the five flavors. Regarding "knowledge of aspiration": it should say the summit dhyāna of the knowledge of aspiration. Daoxian says that it is simply the cultivated dhyāna, in which aspiration and knowledge are strongest; like Kāśyapa entering Mount Kukkuṭapāda, upheld by the power of his vow, awaiting the appearance of Maitreya before transmitting the robe—that is such a case. Regarding the "eighteen transformations": Daoxian says that a verse states: "Quaking, blazing, / spreading, and manifesting, / transforming, going and coming, / contracting and expanding bodies of multiple forms, / going together with destinies, concealing and revealing, / mastery and subduing others, / bestowing eloquence and recollection, / bestowing security, and emitting light." Regarding the text below "Regarding the...": Jingxi says that all dhyānas, if based on contemplation and so on up to perfuming and cultivating, all obtain the name of 'summit.'
