4.10

二、半明半昏心中覺觀者，若人於攝念之時，雖覺覺觀煩惱念念不住，但隨所緣時，或明或昏。明則覺觀攀緣，思想不住；昏則無記瞪矒，無所覺了，名半明半昏覺觀發相。

Second, regarding vitarka and vicāra in a half-clear and half-dim mind: If a person, when collecting thoughts, although feeling that the afflictions of vitarka and vicāra do not rest for a thought-moment, yet in accord with what is conditioned at the time, they are sometimes clear and sometimes dim. When clear, vitarka and vicāra seize conditions, and thoughts do not rest; when dim, there is indeterminate staring blankly, without any awareness or understanding. This is called the mark of the manifestation of vitarka and vicāra in a half-clear and half-dim [mind].
