Visuddhimagga IV-134

Accharāmattaṃ vā dasaccharāmattaṃ vā khaṇaṃ ṭhapetuṃ samatthatā adhiṭṭhānavasī nāma.

能够于一弹指或十弹指的时间住在定中，名为在定自在。

Ñ(IV,134): Ability to remain in jhāna for a moment consisting in exactly a finger-snap or exactly ten finger-snaps is called mastery in resolving (steadying the duration).



Tatheva lahuṃ vuṭṭhātuṃ samatthatā vuṭṭhānavasī nāma.

能以同样的速度出定，名为出定自在。

Ñ: Ability to emerge quickly in the same way is called mastery in emerging.
