Na–Da– “Ma–U–Nu–Go–Jha–Jha–Jha– many times” –Bha–
1 For attainment of råpàvacara jhàna:
The pañibhàga-nimitta of kasiõa appears at the mind-door
causing the life-continuum to vibrate twice and become
arrested (Na-Da). Then mano-dvàràvajjana observes the
pañibhàga-nimitta and decides whether it is good or bad.
Then one of the two somanassa-sahagataü ¤ànasampayuttaõ
mahàkusala cittas (take upekkhà-sahagataü to
enter the fifth jhàna) functions as parikamma (omit for
tikkha-pa¤¤à person), upacàra, anuloma and gotrabhu.
Then råpàvacara kusala first jhàna (or second, third,
fourth or fifth jhàna) citta functions many times as
appanà-javana. When the ecstatic absorption is over,
bhavaïga cittas sink into life-continuum.
2 For attainment of aråpàvacara jhàna:
The infinite space (àkàsa) unfolded by the disappearance
of the pañibhàga-nimitta (take the corresponding object
for the higher aråpàvacara jhàna) enters the avenue of
the mind-door causing the life-continuum to vibrate
twice and become arrested. Then mano-dvàràvajjana
observes the infinite space and decides whether it is
good or bad. Then one of the two upekkhà-sahagataü
¤àõasampayuttaõ mahàkusala cittas functions as parikamma
(omit for tikkha-pa¤¤à person), upacàra, anuloma
and gotrabhu. Then àkàsàna¤càyatana-kusala citta (or
higher aråpàvacara kusala citta) functions many times
as appanà-javana. When the meditative absorption is
over, bhavaïga cittas sink into life-continuum.
