瑜伽師地論略纂 16.40

16.40

論云「為治自苦惱行，建立靜慮支」者，一、「對治缺減對治」者，謂苦行煩惱能對治聖道故，能令聖道缺減，名此煩惱為缺減對治，尋、伺能治此，名對治缺減等。下可解。

Regarding the treatise's statement, "the dhyāna factors are established in order to counteract painful afflictive practices": first, "counteracting the deficiency of the antidote" means that because the afflictions of ascetic pain can counteract the noble path, they can cause deficiency in the noble path; these afflictions are termed the deficiency of the antidote. Applied thought (vitarka) and sustained thought (vicāra) can counteract this, hence it is termed counteracting the deficiency, and so forth. Below may be understood.
