Next, in the inclusion and exclusion: regarding 'investigation and reflection of the first dhyāna are for apprehending the cognitive object...', the Abhidharma[-samuccaya] clarifies three: namely, investigation and reflection are the antidote, joy and pleasure are the benefit, and absorption is the support. Here four are mentioned. Tai says: the factors of dhyāna are explained through three meanings in all, so the three of the Abhidharma[-samuccaya] subsume these four. The factors mentioned here are summarily two: because of their great benefit, joy, pleasure, and the like are added for the benefit of practitioners; if a dharma has these two meanings, it is established as a factor of dhyāna. Other dharmas such as wisdom and volition do not have these two meanings, and are thus omitted and not mentioned. Ji says: here investigation and reflection are spoken of as apprehending the cognitive object, viewing the corresponding object as the antidote, absorption as the support, joy as receiving what has been attained, and pleasure as eliminating coarseness and weight. A delighted mental feeling is called joy; that which can bring comfort to the body is called pleasure. Coarseness and weight reside in the body; when pleasure arises, they perish, which is called 'eliminating', not that it eliminates lower afflictions. That which eliminates lower afflictions is only investigation and reflection. Thus it reveals that the beneficial factors mentioned in various places have two meanings: first, receiving the attained object; second, eliminating the hindrance of coarseness and weight.
