"Vivekajapītisukhasukhumasaccasaññīyeva tasmiṃ samaye hoti" (At that time he has only a subtle, real perception of rapture and pleasure born of seclusion): at the time of that first absorption, the subtle perception termed rapture and pleasure born of seclusion is real, the meaning being that it is actual. Or alternatively, it is subtle on account of abandoning the gross factors such as sensual desire, and it is real on account of actuality; hence 'sukhumasaccasaññā' (subtle, real perception); associated with rapture and pleasure born of seclusion, it is a 'subtle, real perception of rapture and pleasure born of seclusion'. One who has that is 'one having a subtle, real perception of rapture and pleasure born of seclusion'—thus should the meaning here be seen. This is the method everywhere. 'Evampi sikkhā' (thus too there is training): here, because one trains when entering, sustaining, and emerging from the first absorption, therefore it is called 'training' because of being trainable in this way. Through that first absorption called training, thus one subtle, real perception of rapture and pleasure born of seclusion arises; thus one sensual perception ceases: this is the meaning. "This is the training, the Blessed One said": this one training is called the first absorption, the Blessed One said. By this method, the meaning should be understood everywhere.
