In the absence of delight in sound and the other senses (ś徱), and by the fact that I am myself not an object of the senses [prītyabhāvena śabdāderadṛśyatvena cātmana�], my mind is focused and free from distraction—which is why I am now established. Owing to the distraction of such things as wrong identification, one is driven to strive for mental stillness. Recognising this pattern I am now established. [...]�.
