Visuddhimagga VIII-143

Evaṃ paṭhamajjhānavasena ijjhamānampi cetaṃ kammaṭṭhānaṃ vaṇṇasaṇṭhānādīsu satibalena ijjhanato kāyagatāsatīti vuccati.

如是此(身至念)业处虽依初禅而成,但是由于忆念(三十二分的)色、形等之力而成,故称为「身至念」(业处)。

Ñ(VIII,143): And although this meditation is successful in this way with the first jhāna, it is nevertheless called 'mindfulness occupied with the body' because it is successful through the influence of the mindfulness of the colour, shape, and so on.
