जं किंचि वि चिंतंतो णिरीहवित्ती हवे जदा साहू। लभ्रूण य एयत्तं तदाहु तं तस्स णिच्छयं ज्झाणं॥५५॥
jam kimci vi cintanto nirīha-vitti have jadā sāhū laddhūņa ya eyattam tad āhu tam tassa nicchayam jjhānam.
When a monk, meditating on anything, has a deportment devoid of aspiration, once he has obtained such a state, it is said that he has reached absolute meditation.
मा चिट्ठह मा जंपह मा चिंतह किं वि जेण होइ थिरो। अप्पा अप्पम्मि रओ इणमेव परं हवे ज्झाणं॥५६॥ mā citthaha mā jampaha mā cintaha kim vi jeņa hoi thiro appā appammi rao ; inam eva param have jjhānam.
Do not act, do not talk, do not think at all, so that the soul is steady and is content in the self. This indeed is supreme meditation.
तवसुदवदवं चेदा ज्झाणरहधुरंधरो हवे जम्हा तम्हा तत्तियणिरदा तल्लद्धी सदा होह॥५७॥
tava-suda-vadavam cedā jjhānaraha-dhuramdharo have jamhā tamhā tattiya-niradā tal-laddhie sadā hoha.
Because the mind provided with penance, scriptural knowledge and vows can hold the · yoke of the chariot that is meditation, therefore be always content in them in order to reach it.
