[129] Furthermore, great king, with the fading away of rapture (pīti), a bhikkhu dwells equanimous, mindful (sati) and clearly comprehending (sampajāno), and he experiences happiness with the body; he enters upon and dwells in the third jhāna (tatiyajjhāna), of which the noble ones declare: 'Equanimous and mindful, he dwells in happiness.' He drenches, steeps, fills, and pervades this very body with the happiness that is free of rapture, so that there is no part of his whole body that is not pervaded by the happiness free of rapture.
Just as, great king, 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, born in the water and grown in the water, do not rise above the water but thrive immersed within it; and from their tips down to their roots they are drenched, steeped, filled, and pervaded by cool water, so that there is no part of those blue lotuses, red lotuses, or white lotuses in their entirety that is not pervaded by the cool water — even so, great king, a bhikkhu drenches, steeps, fills, and pervades this very body with the happiness that is free of rapture, so that there is no part of his whole body that is not pervaded by the happiness free of rapture.
This too, great king, is a fruit of the ascetic life, visible here and now, more excellent and more sublime than the previous fruits of the ascetic life visible here and now.
