## Chapter 138: Dasha Shruta Skandha Sutra
Those who have attained the samadhi of character and have purified their soul through Dharma-dhyana, etc., excluding the root causes of samadhi, Artha and Raudra dhyana, develop the following ten citta-samadhi-sthana, which were not previously present.
**Fifth Dasha**
The question arises: What is the difference between 'Samiti' and 'Gupti'? The answer is that the restraint of yogas is called Gupti. For example, Manas-samiti means the cessation of the unskillful mind and the inclination towards the skillful mind, but Manogupti means the restraint of both skillful and unskillful minds, as well as the restraint of four types of manoyogas: Satya-manoyog, Asatya-manoyog, Misra-manoyog, and Vyavahar-manoyog. Similarly, one should understand the subject of Vachan-gupti and Kaya-gupti.
In the word "Aay-Joina", if we separate "na" and consider it in the sense of a figure of speech, the remaining part translates to "Atma-yogi" in Sanskrit, which means one who practices Adhyatma yoga, and "Atta-yogi" means one who controls the mind, speech, and body. If we change the reading to "Atma-yogi" in this way, it could also mean one who possesses the best yogas in the practice of restraint.
The meaning of "Paakshik-Paushdha" as it appears in the sutra is as follows: "Pakshe Bhavah Paakshik:". The word "Paksha" here refers to the completion of a fortnight. Due to the extension of the meaning of a word to a part or a whole, the meaning here is "pathya-dana" which complements the fortnight. "Paushdha" means fasting. Alternatively, "Paushdha" refers to the fourteenth and eighth days of the fortnight, so "Paakshik-Paushdha" means fasting on those days. This means those who fast on the fortnightly days. By implication, one should understand the same for Shravaka, etc.
Now, the sutrakar names the ten citta-samadhi-sthana:
Dhamma-chinta va se asampanna-puvva sampannajejjana savvam dhammam janittae; sumina dansane va se asampanna-puvva sampannajejjana ahataccham suminam pasittae, sanni-jai-sarane nam sanni-nanam va se asampanna-puvva sampannajejjana appano poraniyam jai sumaritae; deva-dansane va se asampanna-puvva...
