The third of three generation-process samādhis. They are described by Kongtrul 2008, 69: "[Supremely victorious activities consist] of deeds such as the purification of realms by all deities. Because these deeds are similar to the deeds of the Buddha, [this samādhi is referred to as] supremely victorious [activities]. +
That which primarily produces the continuum of its own substance as its specific result. See Mind and Its World II Sourcebook 2007, 19–22. +
The vinaya observances of lay precepts (gso sbyong, poṣhadha, lit. "purification-renewal"), summer retreat (dbyar gnas), and "release" (dgag dbye). See Kongtrul 1998, 131–36, where these are translated as purification-renewal, rainy season retreat, and lifting of restrictions. +

Era of completeness (rdzogs ldan gyi dus, kṛitayuga), threefold [era] (gsum ldan, tretāyuga), twofold [era] (gnyis ldan, dvāparayuga), and [era of] conflict (rtsod ldan, kaliyuga). The four eras are distinguished either in terms of their enjoyments (dharma, pleasures, wealth, and freedom) or in terms of dharma (that is, the observance of the ten virtues). This categorization of two types of eras is found in Puṇḍarīka's Stainless Light (see Newman 1987, 514–19). In his commentary on verse 98 of the Treasury of Abhidharma, Mikyö Dorje (Bestowing the Fulfillment of Accomplishment and Happiness, 646 ) says: "The era of Buddha Krakucchanda ('Khor ba 'jig) was the era of completeness because all the ten virtues were naturally completely present [or practiced]. The era of Buddha Kanakamuni (gSer thub) was the threefold era because while people did not emphasize abandoning the seven [unvirtues] of body and speech, they did emphasize abandoning the three [unvirtues] of mind. The era of Buddha Kāshyapa ('Od srung) was the twofold era because, although people did not emphasize abandoning covetousness, they did emphasize abandoning malice and wrong views. The era of Buddha Shākyamuni is one of extensive conflict." For other ways of categorizing the four eras, see Kongtrul 1995, 133–34 and 162–65. +
