2.52

On the Śāstra's: "Subsumed under the dharma dhātu... vicāra is also like this": this is the second part, clarifying that unassociated dharmas and the vicāra of the dhyānāntara are both without vitarka and without vicāra. Here, saying "having vitarka and having vicāra" refers to existence by association (samprayoga), not existence by coexistence (sahabhū). Therefore, the four characteristics and secondary characteristics are not called having vitarka and vicāra; and because the vicāra in the intermediate dhyāna lacks a second vicāra, and the dharmas of that level lack vitarka, vicāra there is without vitarka and without vicāra.
