[...] The meditation is the cause of happiness (pramuditacitta) and noble birth; the Bodhisattva completes the accumulations for peaceful meditation with happiness and noble birth (pramuditacitta-ājāneya); he, having transferred the accumulations of peaceful meditation into omniscience, fulfils the perfection of meditation.
