[1036] [S.] "For one who has entered upon the attainment (samāpatti) of the earth-kasiṇa (paṭhavīkasiṇa), is there knowledge (ñāṇa) with regard to what is distorted (viparīta)?"
[P.] "Yes."
[S.] "Is it unwholesome (akusala)?"
[P.] "It should not be said so." …
[S.] "Is it not wholesome (kusala)?"
[P.] "Yes."
[S.] "If it is wholesome, then indeed, good sir, it should not be said: 'For one who has entered upon the attainment of the earth-kasiṇa, there is knowledge with regard to what is distorted.'"
