Discerning with a subtle mind is named sustained application. Once the practitioner has verified the virtues of the first dhyāna, they immediately use a subtle mind to discern the various marvelous virtues and spheres of material dharmas in this meditative absorption clearly and without any obscuring hindrances; virtuous qualities such as these did not exist in the desire realm, hence it is named the factor of sustained application. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.235](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.235) - [Next: 1.237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.237) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.1.236) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.236](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.236) · Pramāṇa
