47. Samtani (1971, p. 17) does not have anything that matches dga’ ba med pa (“without joy”). He proposes that it could translate prītirahitam (Samtani 1971, p. 17, n. 8). We think, on the other hand, that the probable Sanskrit original should be niṣprītikam, which is attested in a sūtra quotation, very close to our passage (indeed we wonder whether this is a quote of Distinctly Ascertaining the Meanings), that appears in Ratnākaraśānti’s Sāratamā : yat tad āryā ācakṣate upekṣakaḥ smṛtimān sukhavihārīti niṣprītikaṁ tṛtīyaṁ dhyānam upasampadya viharatīti (Jaini 1979, p. 50). In the same context of the third meditation (dhyāna), the term niṣprītikam also appears in the Saṅghabhedavastu (Gnoli 1978a, p. 144).
