3.23
The question is as in the text. The answer generally clarifies that it is because [this joy] is extraordinary. Quoting the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra as proof is as in the text. Next, from 'if one speaks of' onward, it explains according to the teachings; although it lists all four, compared with the four joys of the past, they differ: now there is only pure, unadulterated, real joy, without any further distinction. That the four, such as humans and devas, are all said to move is because the provisional moves for the sake of the real.
