瑜伽論記 2.61

2.61

Regarding 'the third dhyāna experiences subtle pleasure free from joy': this refers to taking as object either the teaching on the supreme detachment from the desire of the second [dhyāna], or taking instruction therein as the objective sphere, and having seen the faults of the marks of joy in the second dhyāna, one is disgusted with and detached from it. 'Subtle pleasure' refers to the one who has transformed the basis, free from joy and free from exultation, being subsumed under comfortable feeling. That it does not speak here of 'subtle pleasure born of concentration' is because it is newly detached from joy.
