1.15

Regarding the first listing of śrāvakas, there are five (and so on). 'Like refined pure gold' is the general praise (and so on). 'Lucid' praises meditative concentration; 'serene' praises wisdom; fully endowed with the various concentrations of body and mind. The four dhyānas of the form realm are bodily concentration; the four formless attainments are mental concentration. The first three liberations (vimokṣa) are bodily concentration; the latter five liberations are mental concentration. Therefore we know that those who attain liberation are lucid and serene in body and mind (and so on).
