“छहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु हिमवन्तं पब्बतराजं पदालेय्य, को पन वादो छवाय अविज्जाय। कतमेहि छहि? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु समाधिस्स समापत्तिकुसलो होति, समाधिस्स ठितिकुसलो होति, समाधिस्स वुट्ठानकुसलो होति, समाधिस्स कल्लितकुसलो होति, समाधिस्स गोचरकुसलो होति, समाधिस्स अभिनीहारकुसलो होति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, छहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु हिमवन्तं पब्बतराजं पदालेय्य, को पन वादो छवाय अविज्जाया”ति।
“Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu himavantaṁ pabbatarājaṁ padāleyya, ko pana vādo chavāya avijjāya. Katamehi chahi? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu samādhissa samāpattikusalo hoti, samādhissa ṭhitikusalo hoti, samādhissa vuṭṭhānakusalo hoti, samādhissa kallitakusalo1 hoti, samādhissa gocarakusalo hoti, samādhissa abhinīhārakusalo hoti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu himavantaṁ pabbatarājaṁ padāleyya, ko pana vādo chavāya avijjāyā”ti.
“Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu who has six qualities could shatter Himalaya, the king of mountains, let alone this wretched ignorance! What six? It’s when a bhikkhu is skilled in entering immersion, skilled in remaining in immersion, skilled in emerging from immersion, skilled in gladdening the mind for immersion, skilled in the meditation subjects for immersion, and skilled in projecting the mind purified by immersion. A bhikkhu who has these six qualities could shatter Himalaya, the king of mountains, let alone this wretched ignorance!”
