Visuddhimagga IV-118

Tattha yasmā upekkhāvasena ñāṇaṃ pākaṭaṃ hoti. Yathāha – ‘‘tathāpaggahitaṃ cittaṃ sādhukaṃ ajjhupekkhati, upekkhāvasena paññāvasena paññindriyaṃ adhimattaṃ hoti, upekkhāvasena nānattakilesehi cittaṃ vimuccati, vimokkhavasena paññāvasena paññindriyaṃ adhimattaṃ hoti. Vimuttattā te dhammā ekarasā honti. Ekarasaṭṭhena bhāvanā’’ti (paṭi. ma. 1.201). Tasmā ñāṇakiccabhūtā sampahaṃsanā pariyosānanti vuttā.

于此(修习心)由于舍而智明了,故说智的作用为喜悦而称为后,即所谓:「以善舍置于心策励,于是从舍有慧而慧根增长,由于舍而心从种种烦恼得以解脱,于是从解脱有慧而慧根增长。因解脱故彼等(信、慧、精进、定等)诸法成为一味(作用),于是从一味之义为修习(而有慧而慧根增长)」。

Ñ(IV,118): Herein, satisfaction as a function of knowledge is called 'the end' since the knowledge is evident as due to onlooking (equanimity), according as it is said: 'He looks on with complete equanimity at the mind thus exerted; then the understanding faculty is outstanding as understanding due to equanimity. Owing to equanimity the mind is liberated from the many sorts of defilements; then the understanding faculty is outstanding as understanding due to liberation. Because of being liberated these states come to have a single function; then [the understanding faculty is outstanding as understanding due to] development in the sense of the single function' (Ps.ii,25).
