Sinopsis singkat

Anuruddha menjelaskan perbedaan antara pembebasan batin yang tak terbatas dan pembebasan batin yang luhur kepada Pañcakaṅga, seorang tukang kayu yang semula mengira keduanya sama. Pembebasan tak terbatas diterangkan melalui pemancaran cinta kasih, belas kasih, kegembiraan dan keseimbangan tanpa batas, sedangkan pembebasan luhur berkaitan dengan perluasan objek meditasi sampai batas tertentu. Percakapan kemudian bergerak pada perbedaan cahaya dan kemegahan para dewa, yang dihubungkan dengan kemurnian dan keluasan konsentrasi yang dikembangkan sebelumnya.
