ChandasamÄdhisutta Immersion Due to Enthusiasm
āChandaƱce, bhikkhave, bhikkhu nissÄya labhati samÄdhiį¹, labhati cittassa ekaggataį¹āāMendicants, if a mendicant depends on enthusiasm in order to gain immersion, gain unification of mind,
ayaį¹ vuccati chandasamÄdhi. this is called immersion due to enthusiasm. The basic statement includes a long compound (chandasamÄdhippadhÄnasaį¹
khÄrasamannÄgataį¹), which leaves the relationship between the terms ambiguous. This analysis clarifies that the first two terms have a dependent relationship, āimmersion due to enthusiasmā.

khÄrÄāti. These are called active efforts. This confirms that these two items of the compound belong together. PadhÄna is a normal term for āeffort, strivingā, while saį¹
khÄra can mean āeffective workā (SN 48.17:1.5). The explanation shows that the energy here is not just something that one has, but which is generated through the active exercise of the mind in the four duties of right effort.
