Visuddhimagga V-35

Odātakasiṇavasena odātarūpanimmānaṃ, thinamiddhassa dūrabhāvakaraṇaṃ, andhakāravidhamanaṃ, dibbena cakkhunā rūpadassanatthāya ālokakaraṇanti evamādīni ijjhanti.

依于「白遍」，能变化白色，离诸惛沉睡眠，消灭黑暗，为了要以天眼看东西而作诸光明，有此等成就。

Ñ(V,35): The white kasiṇa is the basis for such powers as creating white forms, banishing stiffness and torpor, dispelling darkness, causing light for the purpose of seeing visible objects with the divine eye.
