6.11

第五辯所依地者。前二解脫依初二禪。第三解脫依第四禪。空等四解脫各依當地。第八解脫依非想地。欲界散地不發解脫。中間未至定惠不均。亦不發解脫。近分定亦不發。以速疾故也。若約依方。此八解脫唯依三方身起。不依北方。以無說力起故。若約三界身。前三依欲界身。後五通依三界身起也。

Fifth, distinguishing the planes upon which they depend: the first two liberations depend upon the first and second dhyānas. The third liberation depends upon the fourth dhyāna. The four liberations from space onward each depend upon their respective planes. The eighth liberation depends upon the plane of neither-perception. The distracted ground of the desire realm does not generate liberations. In the intermediate [dhyāna] and the threshold samādhis, concentration and wisdom are not balanced, so they also do not generate liberations. The preparatory stages of concentration (sāmantaka) also do not generate them, because they are rapid. If classified by physical location, these eight liberations arise only in reliance on bodies in the three directions, and not in reliance on the northern [continent of Uttarakuru], because it lacks the power of teachings to give rise to them. If classified by bodies in the three realms: the first three depend on bodies of the desire realm; the latter five arise dependently and comprehensively throughout bodies of all three realms.
