2.62

Regarding 'contemplating with knowledge as it truly is': the preceding phrase clarifies that right mindfulness is unmoving, meaning stillness at its utmost. 'Contemplating with knowledge as it truly is' means lucid discernment; lucid discernment means knowing the illness and recognizing the medicine. Regarding 'arose calmly from the samādhi': because knowing the illness and recognizing the medicine was already complete, and the time had arrived to dispense the medicine according to the illness, he therefore arose from samādhi. Regarding 'having arisen, he addressed Śāriputra': this brings forth the interlocutor.
