1.1“Sattahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato sāriputto cittaṁ vase vatteti, no ca sāriputto cittassa vasena vattati.“Mendicants, having seven qualities Sāriputta has mastered his mind and is not mastered by it.1.2Katamehi sattahi?What seven?1.3Idha, bhikkhave, sāriputto samādhikusalo hoti, samādhissa samāpattikusalo, samādhissa ṭhitikusalo, samādhissa vuṭṭhānakusalo, samādhissa kalyāṇakusalo, samādhissa gocarakusalo, samādhissa abhinīhārakusalo hoti.Sāriputta is skilled at immersion, skilled in entering immersion, skilled in remaining in immersion, skilled in emerging from immersion, skilled in positivity for immersion, skilled in the territory of immersion, and skilled in projecting the mind purified by immersion.1.4Imehi kho, bhikkhave, sattahi dhammehi samannāgato sāriputto cittaṁ vase vatteti, no ca sāriputto cittassa vasena vattatī”ti.Having these seven qualities Sāriputta has mastered his mind and is not mastered by it.”
