Regarding listing the names: 1. Possessing form, one contemplates forms: this is the [first] liberation. 2. Internally devoid of the perception of form, one contemplates external forms: this is the [second] liberation. 3. The pure liberation, which one personally realizes with the body and fully abides in: this is the [third liberation]. 4. The liberation of the sphere of boundless space. 5. The liberation of the sphere of boundless consciousness. 6. The liberation of the sphere of nothingness. 7. The liberation of the sphere of neither-perception-nor-non-perception. 8. The liberation of cessation, which one personally realizes with the body and fully abides in. According to Kośa, fascicle twenty-nine: The first is named 'Internally possessing the perception of form, one contemplates external forms'; because perception and contemplation are prominent, it is established with the names 'perception' and 'contemplation'. Internally, not yet having subdued and eliminated the perception of form in the viewer is called 'internally possessing form'; contemplating only external objects is called 'contemplating external forms'. In the Mahāyāna it is not so: not having detached from desire for the form realm, or though having already detached from it, the viewer's perception of form remains established and manifest, which is called 'possessing form'; universally contemplating both internal and external is called 'contemplating forms'.
