2.61

Stating "Fifth, asaṃskṛta-dharmas" is the first part, stating the heading. Stating "are, in brief, of six kinds" and so forth is the second part, giving the number and listing their names. 'Space' means having no material obstruction and accommodating all actions that are performed; hence it is named 'space'. Wisdom has the capacity of deliberation, and is therefore called 'deliberation'; because cessation is obtained through deliberation, it is named 'cessation through deliberation'. When causes and conditions do not assemble, dharmas do not arise; this is not cessation brought about by wisdom, hence it is named 'cessation not through deliberation'. Above the fourth dhyāna, only neutral feeling (upekṣā-vedanā) is manifest, unmoved by suffering and pleasure; hence it is named 'immobility'. In the absorption of cessation, citta and caitta-dharmas cease, and because conception and sensation have superior activity, it is named after the predominant [factors]; thus it is named 'cessation of conception and sensation'. The dharma-nature is originally and always quiescent in itself and has the meaning of not altering; this is called 'suchness'. This is the fifth section, clarifying asaṃskṛta-dharmas.
