Visuddhimagga III-23

Pañcamacatukke kāmāvacaro samādhi, rūpāvacaro samādhi, arūpāvacaro samādhi, apariyāpanno samādhīti evaṃ cattāro samādhī.

5)(欲界、色界、无色界、离系)第五种四法:即欲界定、色界定、无色界定及离系定,如是为四种定。

Ñ(III,23): 14. In the fifth tetrad there are the following four kinds of concentration, that is to say, sense-sphere concentration, fine-material-sphere concentration, immaterial-sphere concentration, and unincluded [that is, path] concentration.



Tattha sabbāpi upacārekaggatā kāmāvacaro samādhi.

此中一切近行的一境性为欲界定。

Ñ: Herein, sense-sphere concentration is all kinds of access unification.



Tathā rūpāvacarādikusalacittekaggatā itare tayoti evaṃ kāmāvacarādivasena catubbidho.

而色界等(色界、无色界、出世界)的善心一境性为其它三者(色界定、无色界定、离系定)。如是依欲界等为四种。

Ñ: Likewise the other three are respectively profitable unification of mind associated with fine-material, [immaterial, and path, jhāna]. So it is of four kinds as of the sense-sphere, and so on.
