Visuddhimagga III-10

Samādhitikavaṇṇanā

Tikesu paṭhamattike paṭiladdhamatto hīno, nātisubhāvito majjhimo, subhāvito vasippatto paṇītoti evaṃ hīnamajjhimapaṇītavasena tividho.

（三）（三法）于四种中：（1）（下、中、上）第一种三法：刚才获得（的定）为「下」；不甚善修习（的定）为「中」；甚善修习而自在者（的定）为「上」。如是依下、中、上为三种。

Ñ(III,10): 6. In the first of the triads what has only just been acquired is inferior. What is not very well developed is medium. What is well developed and has reached mastery is superior. So it is of three kinds as inferior, medium, and superior.
