A Question About the Third Absorption
4

“‘ततियंta·ti·yaṃ झानं,jhā·naṃ ततियंta·ti·yaṃ झानन्’तिjhā·nan वुच्चति।vuc·ca·ti

“‘Tatiyaṁ jhānaṁ, tatiyaṁ jhānan’ti vuccati.

“They speak of this thing called the ‘third absorption’.
5

कतमंka·ta·maṃ नुnu खोkho ततियंta·ti·yaṃ झानन्ति?jhā·nan·ti

Katamaṁ nu kho tatiyaṁ jhānanti?

What is the third absorption?
6

तस्सtas·sa मय्हं,may·haṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so एतदहोसि—e·ta·da·ho·si

Tassa mayhaṁ, āvuso, etadahosi—

It occurred to me:
7

इधi·dha भिक्खुbhik·khu पीतियाpī·ti·yā चca विरागाvi·rā·gā उपेक्खकोu·pek·kha·ko चca विहरतिvi·ha·ra·ti सतोsa·to चca सम्पजानोsam·pa·jā·no सुखञ्चsu·khañ·ca कायेनkā·ye·na पटिसंवेदेति,pa·ṭi·saṃ·ve·de·ti यंyaṃ तंtaṃ अरियाa·ri·yā आचिक्खन्ति:ā·cik·khan·ti ‘उपेक्खकोu·pek·kha·ko सतिमाsa·ti·mā सुखविहारी’तिsu·kha·vi·hā·rī ततियंta·ti·yaṃ झानंjhā·naṃ उपसम्पज्जu·pa·sam·paj·ja विहरति।vi·ha·ra·ti

idha bhikkhu pītiyā ca virāgā upekkhako ca viharati sato ca sampajāno sukhañca kāyena paṭisaṁvedeti, yaṁ taṁ ariyā ācikkhanti: ‘upekkhako satimā sukhavihārī’ti tatiyaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharati.

‘With the fading away of rapture, a mendicant enters and remains in the third absorption, where they meditate with equanimity, mindful and aware, experiencing for themselves the bliss of which the noble ones declare, “Equanimous and mindful, one meditates in bliss.”
8

इदंi·daṃ वुच्चतिvuc·ca·ti ततियंta·ti·yaṃ झानन्ति।jhā·nan·ti

Idaṁ vuccati tatiyaṁ jhānanti.

This is called the third absorption.’
9

सोso ख्वाहं,khvā·haṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so पीतियाpī·ti·yā चca विरागाvi·rā·gā उपेक्खकोu·pek·kha·ko चca विहरामिvi·ha·rā·mi सतोsa·to चca सम्पजानोsam·pa·jā·no सुखञ्चsu·khañ·ca कायेनkā·ye·na पटिसंवेदेमि।pa·ṭi·saṃ·ve·de·mi यंyaṃ तंtaṃ अरियाa·ri·yā आचिक्खन्ति:ā·cik·khan·ti ‘उपेक्खकोu·pek·kha·ko सतिमाsa·ti·mā सुखविहारी’तिsu·kha·vi·hā·rī ततियंta·ti·yaṃ झानंjhā·naṃ उपसम्पज्जu·pa·sam·paj·ja विहरामि।vi·ha·rā·mi

So khvāhaṁ, āvuso, pītiyā ca virāgā upekkhako ca viharāmi sato ca sampajāno sukhañca kāyena paṭisaṁvedemi. Yaṁ taṁ ariyā ācikkhanti: ‘upekkhako satimā sukhavihārī’ti tatiyaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharāmi.

And so … I was entering and remaining in the third absorption.
10

तस्सtas·sa मय्हं,may·haṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so इमिनाi·mi·nā विहारेनvi·hā·re·na विहरतोvi·ha·ra·to पीतिसहगताpī·ti·sa·ha·ga·tā सञ्ञामनसिकाराsañ·ñā·ma·na·si·kā·rā समुदाचरन्ति।sa·mu·dā·ca·ran·ti

Tassa mayhaṁ, āvuso, iminā vihārena viharato pītisahagatā saññāmanasikārā samudācaranti.

While I was in that meditation, perception and focus accompanied by rapture beset me.
11

अथa·tha खोkho मं,maṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so भगवाbha·ga·vā इद्धियाid·dhi·yā उपसङ्कमित्वाu·pa·saṅ·ka·mit·vā एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Atha kho maṁ, āvuso, bhagavā iddhiyā upasaṅkamitvā etadavoca:

Then the Buddha came up to me with his psychic power and said,
12

‘मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na मोग्गल्लान।mog·gal·lā·na

‘moggallāna, moggallāna.

‘Moggallāna, Moggallāna!
13

Mā, brāhmaṇa, tatiyaṁ jhānaṁ pamādo, tatiye jhāne cittaṁ saṇṭhapehi, tatiye jhāne cittaṁ ekodiṁ karohi, tatiye jhāne cittaṁ samādahā’ti.

Don’t neglect the third absorption, brahmin! Settle your mind in the third absorption; unify your mind and immerse it in the third absorption.’
14

सोso ख्वाहं,khvā·haṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so अपरेनa·pa·re·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na पीतियाpī·ti·yā चca विरागाvi·rā·gā उपेक्खकोu·pek·kha·ko चca विहरामिvi·ha·rā·mi सतोsa·to चca सम्पजानोsam·pa·jā·no सुखञ्चsu·khañ·ca कायेनkā·ye·na पटिसंवेदेमि,pa·ṭi·saṃ·ve·de·mi यंyaṃ तंtaṃ अरियाa·ri·yā आचिक्खन्ति:ā·cik·khan·ti ‘उपेक्खकोu·pek·kha·ko सतिमाsa·ti·mā सुखविहारी’तिsu·kha·vi·hā·rī ततियंta·ti·yaṃ झानंjhā·naṃ उपसम्पज्जu·pa·sam·paj·ja विहासिं।vi·hā·siṃ

So khvāhaṁ, āvuso, aparena samayena pītiyā ca virāgā upekkhako ca viharāmi sato ca sampajāno sukhañca kāyena paṭisaṁvedemi, yaṁ taṁ ariyā ācikkhanti: ‘upekkhako satimā sukhavihārī’ti tatiyaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja vihāsiṁ.

And so, after some time … I entered and remained in the third absorption.
15

यञ्हिyañ·hi तंtaṃ आवुसोā·vu·so सम्माsam·mā वदमानोva·da·mā·no वदेय्यva·dey·ya …पे…pe महाभिञ्ञतंma·hā·bhiñ·ña·taṃ पत्तो”ति।pat·to

Yañhi taṁ āvuso sammā vadamāno vadeyya …pe… mahābhiññataṁ patto”ti.

So if anyone should be rightly called a disciple who attained to great direct knowledge with help from the Teacher, it’s me.”
16

ततियं।ta·ti·yaṃ

Tatiyaṁ.
