The definitive view is: These three are established solely with respect to realms and levels. That is, conditioned and unconditioned, defiled and undefiled dharmas of the desire realm and the first dhyāna, because investigation and analysis can both be found therein, are called the first level. The defiled and undefiled dharmas of the intermediate dhyāna, because they lack investigation and only have analysis, are called the second level. The defiled and undefiled dharmas from the second dhyāna upward in all levels, because they lack both investigation and analysis, are called the third level. Therefore, the fourth fascicle of the Yogācārabhūmi says: "Here, whether in absorption or by birth, the desire realm and the first dhyāna are called the level with investigation and with analysis. Whether in absorption or by birth, the intermediate dhyāna is called the level without investigation and with analysis only. All of the form and formless realms from the second dhyāna upward are called the level without investigation and without analysis. The uncontaminated conditioned absorption of the first dhyāna is also called the level with investigation and with analysis. Relying on the locus of investigation and analysis, dharmas cognize tathatā as their object and enter this absorption, and not because of actual discrimination." The rest is as previously stated.
