## The Fifth Stage
**With Hindi Translation**
**131**
When samadhi arises, the time of its arising is called **kal-samadhi**. **Bhav-samadhi** is of the form of knowledge, perception, character, and austerity. When the mind becomes concentrated on these four, **bhav-samadhi** arises. But all this happens only through the purity of the field, etc. If the field, etc. are pure, the mind will naturally incline towards samadhi.
This present stage describes **bhav-chitta-samadhi**. Its first sutra is as follows:
_Suyam me ausam tenam Bhagavaya evam akkhaayam, ih khalu therihin Bhagavantehin das chitta-samahi-thanna pannatta. Kayaraim khalu tai therihin Bhagavantehin das chitta-samahi-thanna pannatta? Imaim khalu tai therihin Bhagavantehin das chitta-samahi-thanna pannatta, tam jaha:_
_Shrut am mayaushamn! Ten Bhagavatai evam akhyatam, ih khalu sthaviraibhagavadbhir das chitta-samadhi-sthanaani prajnaptaani, kataraani khalu tani sthaviraibhagavadbhir das chitta-samadhi-sthanaani prajnaptaani? Imani khalu tani sthaviraibhagavadbhir das chitta-samadhi-sthanaani prajnaptaani, tadya tha:_
