From here onward, up to the dhyāna gate of neither-conceptualization[-nor-non-conceptualization] and the absorption of cessation, it becomes progressively deeper and more marvelous, with phenomenal characteristics that are not single; how could they be completely expounded?

Abandonment means equally abandoning the five hindrances; possession means fully possessing three factors, namely prīti, sukha, and ekāgratā.'
