Fifth, eliminating bodily formations: this corresponds to the factors of vitarka and vicāra of the first dhyāna. Within this there are two: first, clarifying bodily formations; second, clarifying the elimination of the body. 'Bodily formations': when the first dhyāna arises within the desire-realm body, the form derived from the four great elements of the form realm contacts the desire-realm body, the desire-realm bodily faculty produces body-consciousness, and one perceives this tangible form. The forms of the two realms depend on each other and co-dwell; therefore it is called 'body.' 'Bodily formations' refers to the factor of vicāra. This factor of vicāra arises from the bodily elements, knowing that the dharmas within the body engage in activity; therefore it is called 'bodily formations.'
