4.63

As for the existence of the Yāma Devas being destroyed by the mind-delighting samādhi: these devas dwell in space, free from weapons and combat, and take this as delight. This is delight within retribution, yet they do not have the delight of unmoving karma, nor the delight of the outflow-free, of the wisdom of the paths, of the wisdom of the Middle, and so on. The bodhisattva, in order to destroy all non-delights, cultivates various practices and personally perfects the mind-delighting samādhi of the three truths. His vows perfume the dharma realm. For those who have spiritual capacities and conditions, through his original compassion he causes others' minds to delight; therefore the samādhi is named mind-delighting. The rest is as explained above.
