[14] Having abandoned these five hindrances (nīvaraṇa), corruptions of the mind (citta) that weaken wisdom, then — quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unwholesome states — he enters and dwells in the first jhāna, which is accompanied by applied thought (vitakka) and sustained thought (vicāra), with rapture (pīti) and happiness born of seclusion. With the stilling of applied thought and sustained thought, he enters and dwells in the second jhāna, which has internal confidence and unification of mind, is without applied thought and without sustained thought, with rapture and happiness born of concentration (samādhi). With the fading away of rapture, he dwells equanimous, and, mindful and clearly comprehending, he experiences happiness with the body; he enters and dwells in the third jhāna, of which the noble ones declare: 'Equanimous and mindful, he dwells in happiness.' With the abandoning of pleasure and the abandoning of pain, and with the previous disappearance of joy and grief, he enters and dwells in the fourth jhāna, which is neither painful nor pleasant and has purity of mindfulness by equanimity (upekkhā).
