22. This refers to the category of beings abiding in the fourth and highest level of the formless realm. These are either the gods that abide there or persons who have reached this state through meditative equipoise. This state is also referred to as the “peak of existence” (Skt. bhavāgra; Tib. srid rtse) and is situated at the apex of saṃsāra. The beings there do not experience perceptions and yet cannot be said to be without perceptions.
