Niratiśayasukha (निरतिशयसुख) refers to “unsurpassed pleasure”, according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.132.—Accordingly, “[The passage] ‘inasmuch as they are [somehow] manifest in the concept [representing them’ means the following]. [...] [As well as] ‘heaven,’ [apprehended] as the object of unsurpassed (niratiśayasukha) pleasure and as [the means of] realizing it [...]—[all these] must belong to the realm of phenomena; otherwise such [things] as the fact that [they] can be desired, the search for the realization of this [desire], their determination [as having] this [particular] form and place, the practice in accordance with [this determination], etc., would [all] be impossible”.
