SN 22.8
three akusala thoughts cease in "well established" 4sp, which in comparison to MN 78, would refer to a samadhi of quality less than first jhana.
Tayome, bhikkhave, akusalavitakkā—
| There are these three unskillful thoughts. |
kāmavitakko, byāpādavitakko, vihiṃsāvitakko.
| Sensual, malicious, and cruel thoughts. |
Ime ca bhikkhave, tayo akusalavitakkā kva aparisesā nirujjhanti?
| And where do these three unskillful thoughts cease without anything left over? |
Catūsu vā satipaṭṭhānesu suppatiṭṭhitacittassa viharato animittaṃ vā samādhiṃ bhāvayato.
| In those who meditate with their mind firmly established in the four kinds of rememberfulness meditation; or who develop signless undistractible-lucidity. |
Yāvañcidaṃ, bhikkhave, alameva animitto samādhi bhāvetuṃ.
| Just this much is quite enough motivation to develop signless undistractible-lucidity. |
Animitto, bhikkhave, samādhi bhāvito bahulīkato mahapphalo hoti mahānisaṃso.
| When signless undistractible-lucidity is developed and cultivated it is very fruitful and beneficial. |
