[124] Bhikkhus, these four kinds of persons are found existing in the world. Which four? Here, bhikkhus, a certain person, secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unwholesome states, enters and dwells in the first jhāna (paṭhamaṃ jhānaṃ), which is accompanied by thought (vitakka) and examination (vicāra), with rapture and happiness born of seclusion. Whatever there is there belonging to form, belonging to feeling (vedanā), belonging to perception, belonging to volitional formations, or belonging to consciousness — he contemplates those dhammas as impermanent, as suffering (dukkha), as a disease, as a boil, as a dart, as misery, as affliction, as alien, as disintegrating, as empty, as not-self. With the breakup of the body, after death, he is reborn in companionship with the devas of the Pure Abodes (Suddhāvāsa). This rebirth, bhikkhus, is not shared with worldlings (puthujjana).
Again, bhikkhus, here a certain person, with the subsiding of thought and examination, … enters and dwells in the second jhāna … the third jhāna … the fourth jhāna. Whatever there is there belonging to form, belonging to feeling, belonging to perception, belonging to volitional formations, or belonging to consciousness — he contemplates those dhammas as impermanent, as suffering, as a disease, as a boil, as a dart, as misery, as affliction, as alien, as disintegrating, as empty, as not-self. With the breakup of the body, after death, he is reborn in companionship with the devas of the Pure Abodes. This rebirth, bhikkhus, is not shared with worldlings.
These, bhikkhus, are the four kinds of persons found existing in the world.
