1.237

Third, the factor of joy. A mind of rejoicing and celebration is named joy. When the practitioner first gives rise to dhyāna, joy indeed arises, but because discerning is not yet complete, the joyful mind is not yet perfected. When, with the discerning mind, one analyzes that the pleasure of the desire realm that was abandoned is very slight, while the benefits of the first dhyāna now obtained are exceedingly great, having reflected thus, one has immeasurable joy; therefore it is named the factor of joy.
