The Commentary states: The first dhyāna has mental pleasure, yet it is not separate from joy; it is just a single sensation of joy that is conceptually spoken of as pleasure. As explained in the seventh fascicle of the Samuccaya, fascicle 57 [of Yogācārabhūmi], Prakaraṇāryavācā fascicle 2, and elsewhere, by virtue of this meaning it is collectively called by the name of joy, which thereby subsumes that pleasure. In the investigation and examination of the desire realm, the joy and pleasure of the lower stages exist separately in consciousness and are distinct in substance; why are they not stated separately? The former master asks: In your places of unadulterated suffering, where it accompanies mental pain, for what reason is that also not mentioned? Could it be that because it is not mentioned, it does not accompany pain?
