Thinking constantly for regaining agreeable objects
in the absence of contact with them, And thinking constantly for removing disagreeable objects
in the presence of contact with them,

Thinking constantly for the sake of pain and destruction,
together with remunerative hankering,
constitute arta dhyāna, which would occur to lay men, And the first three except remunerative hankering,
to the ascetics in certain stages of spirituality [i.e., 5th and 6th].
11
By contemplating on violence, falsehood, theft,
and protection of wealth, is derived Destructive meditation, truly of cruel nature;
this is raudra dhyāna, arising to householders.

Specu lative investigation of Jina's commands
without guidance,
of turbidity and calamity, of Karmic consequences, And of the structure of the universe,
is described by you, Oh Lord, to be dharma or virtue.
