Listing their names: 1) internally having the perception of form, one contemplates external forms as limited, whether good or bad, inferior or superior, and regarding those forms possesses surpassing knowledge and surpassing vision, grasping their true characteristics; 2) internally having the perception of form, one contemplates external forms as vast; 3) internally having no perception of form, one contemplates external forms as limited; 4) internally having no perception of form, one contemplates external forms as vast.
