The Treatise states: "Samādhi means one-pointedness of mind." The Nyāyānusāra states: "The cause that makes the mind undistracted, grasping the intentional object without scattering, is called samādhi." The Commentary explains: Due to the power of concentration, in that very instant, the mind and mental factors are caused to adhere together to a single intentional object, reaching this and not another. 'Samādhi' is rendered here as 'equipoise' (dengchi), which is holding the mind evenly so that it abides on one intentional object. Where the above explanations of the mental factors refer to 'the mind', this also encompasses mental factors. Concerning factors with contrary characteristics arising together, consider this properly; for fear of verbosity, it is not explained here. The two treatises are briefly cited to distinguish their intrinsic natures and characteristics; wishing to cite many texts, for fear of complexity it is not set forth.
