瑜伽論記 5.6

5.6

Next, 'and thus…' below analogizes the remaining ten qualities under samādhi; of the six attainments, the remaining two are also paired one by one to form four lines. That is, among the various samādhis, emptiness, signlessness, and so on are the most sublime, and because their objective referents are transformed, they exclusively receive this designation. Among the various attainments, the bases of overcoming and the bases of totality are capable of accomplishing transformations; the cessation attainment and non-conceptual [attainment] are mindless and tranquil; hence they are singled out. In the two singled-out lines, first the cessation [attainment] is presented to mark the non-conceptual, and then the bases of totality are presented to analogize the bases of overcoming; because they are implied and briefly shown, their meaning can be understood.
