[225] "Mastery" (vasī): there are five masteries — mastery in adverting (āvajjanā-vasī), mastery in attaining (samāpajjanā-vasī), mastery in resolving (adhiṭṭhāna-vasī), mastery in emerging (vuṭṭhāna-vasī), and mastery in reviewing (paccavekkhaṇā-vasī).
One adverts to the first jhāna wherever one wishes, whenever one wishes, and for as long as one wishes; there is no sluggishness in adverting: thus it is mastery in adverting. One attains the first jhāna wherever one wishes, whenever one wishes, and for as long as one wishes; there is no sluggishness in attaining: thus it is mastery in attaining. One resolves upon the first jhāna wherever one wishes, whenever one wishes, and for as long as one wishes; there is no sluggishness in resolving: thus it is mastery in resolving. One emerges from the first jhāna wherever one wishes, whenever one wishes, and for as long as one wishes; there is no sluggishness in emerging: thus it is mastery in emerging. One reviews the first jhāna wherever one wishes, whenever one wishes, and for as long as one wishes; there is no sluggishness in reviewing: thus it is mastery in reviewing.
The second jhāna … the attainment of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception (nevasaññānāsaññāyatana-samāpatti): one adverts to it wherever one wishes, whenever one wishes, and for as long as one wishes; there is no sluggishness in adverting: thus it is mastery in adverting. One attains the attainment of the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception wherever one wishes, whenever one wishes, and for as long as one wishes … one resolves … one emerges … one reviews it; there is no sluggishness in reviewing: thus it is mastery in reviewing. These are the five masteries.
That is knowledge (ñāṇa) in the sense of knowing that [dhamma]; it is wisdom (paññā) in the sense of understanding. Hence it is said: wisdom that is mastery owing to being endowed with the two powers, owing to the tranquilization of the three formations, owing to the sixteen modes of conduct of knowledge, and owing to the nine modes of conduct of concentration (samādhi), is the knowledge of the attainment of cessation (nirodhasamāpatti).
