[158] Again, bhikkhus, further: with the abandoning of pleasure and the abandoning of pain, and with the previous disappearance of joy and grief, Sāriputta entered and dwelt in the fourth jhāna (jhāna), which is neither painful nor pleasant and has purity of mindfulness due to equanimity. And the dhammas in the fourth jhāna — equanimity, the neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling (vedanā), non-concern of mind (anābhoga) owing to its purity, purity of mindfulness, and unification of mind (cittekaggatā); contact, feeling, perception, volition (cetanā), consciousness, desire (chanda), resolution (adhimokkha), energy, mindfulness, equanimity, and attention (manasikāra) — these dhammas were determined by him one by one as they occurred; known to him those dhammas arose, known they were present, known they went to their disappearance. He understood thus: "So it is, it seems, that these dhammas, not having been, come into being; having been, they vanish." Regarding those dhammas he dwelt unattracted, unrepelled, independent, unbound, liberated, dissociated, with a mind (citta) made free of barriers. He understood: "There is an escape beyond this." Through the repeated cultivation of that, it was confirmed for him that there is.
