At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, there are these four kinds of meditators. What four?
"Here, bhikkhus, a meditator is skilled in resolution sn.iii.277 but not a thorough worker … a thorough worker but not skilled in resolution … neither skilled in resolution nor a thorough worker … both skilled in resolution and a thorough worker regarding concentration.
"Therein, bhikkhus, the meditator who is both skilled in resolution and a thorough worker regarding concentration is the chief … the most excellent of these four kinds of meditators."
