[473] Furthermore, bhikkhus, with the fading away of rapture (pīti), a bhikkhu dwells with equanimity (upekkhā), mindful and clearly comprehending (sato ca sampajāno), and he experiences pleasure (sukha) with the body; he enters and dwells in the third jhāna, of which the noble ones declare: 'Equanimous and mindful, he dwells in pleasure.' He drenches, steeps, fills, and pervades this very body with the pleasure divested of rapture, so that there is no part of his whole body that is unpervaded by the pleasure divested of rapture. Just as, bhikkhus, in a pond of blue lotuses, a pond of red lotuses, or a pond of white lotuses, some blue lotuses, red lotuses, or white lotuses are born in the water, grow up in the water, do not rise above the water, and thrive while immersed within it, and from their tips down to their roots they are drenched, steeped, filled, and pervaded with cool water, so that there is no part of all those blue lotuses, red lotuses, or white lotuses that is unpervaded by cool water — even so, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu drenches, steeps, fills, and pervades this very body with the pleasure divested of rapture, so that there is no part of his whole body that is unpervaded by the pleasure divested of rapture.
