瑜伽論記 4.365

4.365

基云：法中，離生喜樂一句，諸靜慮不同，餘可通有；定生喜樂已離喜樂，清淨靜慮是四靜慮差別性故。如前已釋，由餘五句可通有故，由此後諸支中更無法說，但釋喻說有異，譬如黠慧能沐浴人或彼弟子等者，西方沐浴有容沐浴人師及弟子故以為喻。銅器、蜯蛤器者，喻為離欲生喜樂故。教授教誡者，沐浴時以銅器等盛灰澡豆細沐浴末，今以言教猶如彼器，教之所詮能順於彼出離尋等諸善淨行，如彼灰豆細末，此即無間道，以水洗灌即解脫道，以尋清淨故。沐浴搏者，西方浴訖以餘甘子切碎曝乾為末，以生胡麻香油和之，令其潤膩不硬軟方以塗身，取其香潔潤滑光淨故，沐浴搏即乾甘末，此喻行者未得定前當除麁重，帶津膩者喻喜和合，香麻謂得定後喜資潤身如以油和。

Ji says: In the doctrine, the single phrase 'joy and bliss born of seclusion' differs among the various dhyānas, but the rest may be universally possessed; 'joy and bliss born of concentration,' 'already free from joy and bliss,' and 'pure dhyāna' are the distinctive natures of the four dhyānas. As previously explained, because the remaining five phrases can be universally possessed, for this reason there is no further doctrinal explanation in the subsequent factors, but only the explanations of similes differ. As for 'like a clever bath attendant or their apprentice, etc.': in the Western regions, bathing involves a master bath attendant and apprentices, and hence it is used as a simile. The bronze vessel or clam-shell vessel is a simile for generating joy and bliss through freedom from desire. As for 'instruction and admonition': when bathing, bronze vessels and the like are used to hold ashes, cleansing pea-powder, and fine bathing powder; now verbal teaching is like that vessel, and what the teaching expresses can accord with those wholesome and pure practices of renouncing investigation and the like, like that fine powder of ashes and peas—this is precisely the path of uninterrupted practice; washing and drenching with water is the path of liberation, because it purifies through investigation. As for 'bath ball': in the Western regions, after bathing, amalaka fruit is chopped, dried in the sun, and made into powder, mixed with fragrant raw sesame oil to make it moist and neither hard nor soft, and only then smeared on the body, taking its fragrance, cleanliness, smoothness, and radiance; the bath ball is this dried amalaka powder. This is a simile for the practitioner, who, prior to attaining concentration, must eliminate coarseness and heaviness; 'holding moisture and lubricity' is a simile for the blending of joy; fragrant sesame means that after attaining concentration, joy moistens the body just as when blended with oil.
