俱舍論疏 28.96

28.96

The Śāstra says: "As for the real meaning... [one should know that the others are also like this]," which is the author's own correct explanation. Just as with an army of four limbs (caturaṅgabala), one cannot speak of a single limb as being the entire army, yet it is also a limb of the army. One should know that the remaining limbs of the dhyānas are also like this. The Nyāyānusāra says: "The Vibhāṣā masters, in order to show that samādhi is supreme on the level of dhyāna, spoke in this way. Samādhi is dhyāna and also a limb of dhyāna, just as with an army of four limbs, so there is no fault. Just as the king and his host assist each other, yet among them the king is supreme."
