5.83

Treatise: "They can also cause people... [down to] ...causing people to cling with attachment." Commentary: This is the fourth pair: the attained concentration and dwelling. Here, it is not true samādhi; the new treatise explains this as "or causing them to realise and attain the heterodox concentrations of non-Buddhists." Here, it first mentions obtaining fine food and drink in concentration for many days, causing people to cling with attachment. If one relies on the new treatise, "or again exhorting them to indulge in female beauty, causing people to cling with attachment." Both of these occurrences exist; the translators each presented one.
