答曰:論總明,故說一。若《舍利弗毘曇》說,有四未到地、四中間禪,今用此義故,更說有未到地及中間也。經久不失不退,專心不止,於後其心豁然明淨皎潔,定心與喜俱發。亦如人從暗室中出,見外日月光明,其心豁然明亮。內淨十種功德眷屬俱發之義,具如初禪發相,但以從內淨定俱發為異耳。

Answer: The treatise explains in general terms and therefore speaks of one. But according to the *Śāriputrābhidharma*, there are four anāgamyas and four intermediate dhyānas; relying on this meaning now, we additionally speak of an anāgamya and an intermediate [dhyāna]. If after a long time one neither loses nor regresses from it, concentrating the mind without ceasing, later one's mind will suddenly become bright, pure, and luminous, and the settled mind will manifest together with prīti. It is also like a person emerging from a dark room to see the light of the sun and moon outside; his mind suddenly becomes clear and bright. The meaning of the simultaneous manifestation of the ten kinds of merits and retinues of internal purity is completely as described in the signs of the manifestation of the first dhyāna, with the only difference being that they manifest together from the samādhi of internal purity.
