Tavārthasūtra
It has been stated that they are like the meditation of sorrow. The mind that is distant or hard is called 'Rūḍha'; and the meditation of such a soul is called 'Raudra.' Cruelty or harshness arises from the tendencies of committing violence, speaking falsehood, stealing, and hoarding what is obtained. Therefore, those who are constantly engaged in such thoughts are sequentially referred to as having 'Raudra meditation' related to violence, nectar, and safeguarding subjects. Those with the first five guṇasthānas are the masters of that meditation.
Now, what is meant by Dharmadhyāna?

The one-pointedness of the mind that is focused on contemplating the command, the fall, the fruition, and the establishment is called Dharmadhyāna; it safeguards the resolute self-control.
Furthermore, this Dharmadhyāna is safeguarded in the Upasantamūḍha and Kṣīṇamegha guṇasthānas. - The distinctions of Dharmadhyāna and its masters are indicated here.
What is the command of the Vitarāga and the Sarvajña Purusha? How should it be? To find out the command and examine it, that which gives the momentum to the mind is called 'Ajñāviśaya Dharmadhyāna.'
The mind yoga that is given to consider the nature of faults and how to be free from them is 'Apayaricaya Dharmadhyāna.'
