Regarding "requisites of immersion" (samādhiparikkhārā): here, there are three kinds of requisites. For in "A chariot whose requisite is virtue, whose axle is absorption, whose wheel is energy" (SN 5.4), here requisite means ornament. In "It is well-provided with the seven city-requisites" (AN 7.67), here requisite means retinue. In "Medicinal requisites for life when sick" (DN 3.182), here requisite means material provision. But here, in the sense of the requisite of retinue, it is said: "the seven requisites of immersion". "Provided with" (parikkhatā) means attended by. "This is called the noble right immersion": just as a wheel-turning monarch is attended by seven jewels, so this is called "noble right immersion" attended by the seven factors. "With its support as well" (saupaniso itipi): it is also called "with its foundation"; what is said is that it is accompanied by its retinue. "For one of right view" (sammādiṭṭhissa) means for one established in right view. "Right thought arises" (sammāsaṅkappo pahoti) means right thought operates. This is the method in all expressions. Moreover, this meaning should be understood both by way of the path and by way of the fruit. How? For one established in the path's right view, the path's right thought arises… [and so on] …for one established in the path's knowledge, the path's liberation arises. Similarly, for one established in the fruit's right view, the fruit's right thought arises… [and so on] …for one established in the fruit's right knowledge, the fruit's liberation arises.
