9.44

Second, the object of contemplation. The Śāstra states: "Awakening to the mind's abiding": because these bodhisattvas, within the thought of avidyā, sequentially awaken to the four kinds of marks of abiding: the first bhūmi awakens to [the mark of] continuity; from the second to the seventh bhūmi they awaken to the mark of cognition; the eighth bhūmi awakens to the manifesting mark; the ninth bhūmi awakens to the transforming mark. These four are all termed "abiding"; hence it says "awakening to the mind's abiding."
