“Bhikkhus, there are these four meditators. What four?
इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो झायी समाधिस्मिं समाधिकुसलो होति, न समाधिस्मिं समापत्तिकुसलो।
Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco jhāyī samādhismiṁ samādhikusalo hoti, na samādhismiṁ samāpattikusalo.
One meditator is skilled in samādhi but not in entering it.
इध पन, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो झायी समाधिस्मिं समापत्तिकुसलो होति, न समाधिस्मिं समाधिकुसलो।

Idha pana, bhikkhave, ekacco jhāyī samādhismiṁ samādhikusalo ca hoti, samādhismiṁ samāpattikusalo ca.
One meditator is skilled both in samādhi and in entering it.
तत्र, भिक्खवे, य्वायं झायी समाधिस्मिं समाधिकुसलो च होति समाधिस्मिं समापत्तिकुसलो च अयं इमेसं चतुन्नं झायीनं अग्गो च सेट्ठो च मोक्खो च उत्तमो च पवरो च।
Tatra, bhikkhave, yvāyaṁ jhāyī samādhismiṁ samādhikusalo ca hoti samādhismiṁ samāpattikusalo ca ayaṁ imesaṁ catunnaṁ jhāyīnaṁ aggo ca seṭṭho ca mokkho ca uttamo ca pavaro ca.
Of these, the meditator skilled in samādhi and in entering it is the foremost, best, chief, highest, and finest of the four.
सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, गवा खीरं, खीरम्हा दधि, दधिम्हा नवनीतं, नवनीतम्हा सप्पि, सप्पिम्हा सप्पिमण्डो तत्र अग्गमक्खायति;
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, gavā khīraṁ, khīramhā dadhi, dadhimhā navanītaṁ, navanītamhā sappi, sappimhā sappimaṇḍo tatra aggamakkhāyati;
From a cow comes milk, from milk comes curds, from curds come butter, from butter comes ghee, and from ghee comes cream of ghee. And the cream of ghee is said to be the best of these.
एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, य्वायं झायी समाधिस्मिं समाधिकुसलो च होति समाधिस्मिं समापत्तिकुसलो च अयं इमेसं चतुन्नं झायीनं अग्गो च सेट्ठो च मोक्खो च उत्तमो च पवरो चा”ति।
evameva kho, bhikkhave, yvāyaṁ jhāyī samādhismiṁ samādhikusalo ca hoti samādhismiṁ samāpattikusalo ca ayaṁ imesaṁ catunnaṁ jhāyīnaṁ aggo ca seṭṭho ca mokkho ca uttamo ca pavaro cā”ti.
In the same way, the meditator skilled in samādhi and entering it is the foremost, best, leading, highest, and finest of the four.”
