Visuddhimagga X-2

Tassa kiñcāpi rūpāvacaracatutthajjhānavasena karajarūpaṃ atikkantaṃ hoti,

他虽然已用色界的第四禅而超越了业生色，

Ñ(X,2): Now although he has already surmounted gross physical matter by means of the fourth jhāna of the fine-material sphere,



atha kho kasiṇarūpampi yasmā tappaṭibhāgameva, tasmā tampi samatikkamitukāmo hoti.

但是那遍的色也是（与业生色）类似的，所以连那（遍的色）亦欲超越。

Ñ: nevertheless he still wants also to surmount the kasiṇa materiality since it is the counterpart of the former.



Kathaṃ?

何以故？

Ñ: How does he do this?
