「散謂非定至計度分別」者，所以計度散非定者，《婆沙》四十二解定中慧非計度分別云「雖亦有慧，而非推度分別，若推度時便出定故。」又《正理》云「定中不能計度境故，非定中者能於所緣如此如是計度而轉，故於此中簡定取散。」問：慧順彼尋，尋通定、散，慧亦應通。何故計度唯散非定？解云：散慧計度，又順尋強。定慧定伏，順尋非強。問：依定發慧，定應順慧，如何伏慧令不順尋？解云：簡擇諦等實定順慧；若似順尋邊，定即制伏。問：定中尋起，定不能伏，如何能伏似順尋慧耶？解云：尋是自性分別，有體即名分別。慧似順他起，勢力易除。

Regarding "Distracted means non-concentrated... conceptualization by reckoning": The reason reckoning is distracted and not in meditative concentration is explained in fascicle forty-two of the *Mahāvibhāṣā*, which states of discernment within concentration not being conceptualization by reckoning: "Although there is also discernment, it is not conceptualization by deliberation, because when one deliberates, one immediately emerges from concentration." Moreover, the *Nyāyānusāra* states: "Because within concentration one cannot reckon an object, whereas one who is not in concentration can turn toward an intentional object reckoning it thus and so; therefore, here concentration is excluded and distraction is selected." Question: Discernment conforms to reflection; reflection applies to both concentration and distraction; discernment should also apply to both. Why is reckoning solely distracted and not concentrated? Explanation: Distracted discernment reckons, and its conformity to reflection is strong. Concentrated discernment is subdued by concentration, and its conformity to reflection is not strong. Question: Since discernment is generated in reliance on concentration, concentration should conform to discernment; how can it subdue discernment so that it does not conform to reflection? Explanation: Discriminating the truths and so forth is indeed where concentration conforms to discernment; but where it resembles and conforms to reflection, concentration suppresses it. Question: When reflection arises within concentration, concentration cannot subdue it; how can it subdue discernment which merely resembles and conforms to reflection? Explanation: Reflection is intrinsic conceptualization; its very entity is named conceptualization. Discernment arises resembling and conforming to another, so its momentum is easily removed.
