4.46

The commentary explains: Regarding "The first absorption excludes the unwholesome, as well as remorse and torpor": in the first absorption, like the mental factors of the desire realm described above, only the unwholesome is excluded. The unwholesome comprise ten: hatred as one, seven among the minor defilements—wrath and the like, excluding deceit, dissimulation, and complacency—and the absence of shame and conscience. These ten defilements are purely unwholesome by nature, and do not exist in the form realm. Remorse is excluded because remorse is associated with the faculty of grief, and the form realm is detached from grief, hence remorse is absent. Torpor is excluded because in the form realm there is no material food, hence no torpor.
