瑜伽論記 2.6

2.6

Namely, the Commentary refutes the second master, saying: For one who is already free from desire, the factors of the lower stages would be named [the stage] without investigation and reflection, and so forth; for one not yet free from desire, the factors of the higher stages should be named [the stage] with investigation and with reflection, and so forth; hence the error of confusion would result. Master Ce states: As a further objection, if the three stages are established on the basis of freedom from desire, then the intermediate and fundamental [absorptions], sharing the same bondage and the same freedom, should become a single stage, which entails the error of confusion.
