Regarding "tending toward Buddha-wisdom": this means obtaining forbearance in the birth-body and partially realizing the three knowledges. The "nine great dhyānas" are the dhyānas of the distinct teaching. "And the concentrations of the two vehicles" are the dhyānas of the Tripiṭaka and common teachings.

Regarding "practicing dhyāna while in desire": Jingxi says that this is also spoken in terms of the true concentration of cessation of the stage of effect; the intent is to cause entry into the inconceivable provisional; hence it is called "in desire," not that worldly people in desire are considered to have dhyāna. The present meaning says: Māra originally confuses worldly people with desire; since [the bodhisattva] turns Māra's realm into Buddha-work, when Māra sees it, his mind is bewildered and unsettled; below, it borrows the contemplation of causal persons not manifesting body and mind.
